It might be helpful to establish immediately whether the client requires assistive technologies when understanding the types of services we provide. I also
One day while doing some research for one of his college courses in the library, he noticed a section of books about human evolution and it occurred to him to see whether they had any information about why white teeth were so important in the first place.
