Blind Teacher Overcomes Her Handicap
Linda Garshwiller , a 23 year old legally blind educator, lives in Fort Wayne and fights Indiana rules by suing Marion officials after being denied a teaching interview. She teaches at a Fort Wayne firm researching aids for the blind and previously student taught at Crestview Junior High. She disciplines students with firm methods, uses Braille and regular lesson copies, records grades with a dual copy system, and envisions cassette submissions for themes. Her family, all sighted until later elementary school, learned to adapt through sports and activities, and she credits normal upbringing by her parents for independence.
