Hello again, 

Wanted to wish all of you and your kiddos a happy and safe halloween. 

Also, I wanted to let all of you know about something really cool happening
in April. On April 2 in Carmel Indiana at the Lions clubhouse I will be
hosting a seminar. This seminar will be targeting parents with visualy
impaired and blind children ages 0 to 3. We will have childcare through
kiddiecorp and pizza for lunch. 
There will be guest speakers from all over. A few of the days topics will be
first steps and early intervention, braille, sunglasses, organizations such
as the nfb and lions, sports, making your home blind friendly, technology
and much, much more.

Possible guest speakers will include:
pediatric opthomologist
glaucoma specialist
cornea specialist
first steps developmental therapist
Discovery toys demo
Sports demo
braille demo
O&M demo
Space camp
Blind school presentation
And much more...

You don't want to miss out on this great oppurtunity in learning more about
what's available for your vi/blind infant, toddler, and young child and how
they can benefit from it all. There are only 100 seats available so please
email me your info ASAP at cridzon.85 at gmail.com if your interested. 

Last but not least, this is an all day event and we are taking requests for
anything you think or would like to hear and learn more about that would fit
into our empty slots. All suggestions will be put on a list and discussed at
my next meeting. Feel free to get creative just keep in mind that the
targeted audience will be parents with vi/blind children ages 0 to 3. 

Thanks for your time and hope to see you on april 2. Have a great weekend :)

Cheree ridzon

Subject: [blindkid] brailling book question


I have sorted out some of our print books that we no longer need.  I am
going to make braille to go on the pages of the books for kids that could
use print/braille books with pictures.  However, I have a question regarding
contracted and uncontracted braille.  At what reading level would you change
over?  I have several beginning readers and up to some read on your own
books, but don't know when to change over the format of braille.  I can't
remember what level my sons starting switching.  Hoping someone could help
me before I start on these.
 
Thank you in advance;
Rosina
