Cheree Heppe here: Yes, well and good for Handy Tech, but ....
The Apple stores sells a service plan where anyone can get tutoring for $99.00 from any Apple store for I think two years, along with the hardware support plan. No special anything. They're just trying to tap into the current rehab-based, rather than the emerging community-based blindness access using the perceived requirements of a new paradigm. We have to allow ourselves into the mainstream community in the tech area, among others, in order to give real credence to our claims that we are not, after all, dependent on separate but equal, special, extra training by carefully selected experts, who thrive based on the separate is necessary modality.
