Re: Specialists
开云体育It is a braille book of lyrics? Can you just take the pages out? Another way to erase it is to smash it so that the bumps are not detectable— Dona ————————— Dona Sauerburger, COMS Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist for the blind www.sauerburger.org On Feb 22, 2025, at 10:03?AM, andy lopez via groups.io <andylopez263@...> wrote:

Re: Specialists
开云体育Yes. I was potentially wondering if one here could help me with erasing ?a couple of songs from a book that I have with me that has lyrics. I don’t know if I am allowed to post a request like this in a group like this. But I thought I would. If I’m not allowed to post this. Then I am perfectly fine with that as well.?I do have all of the pages where the songs are located. I also should mention that I do have autism.?
