[blindkid] Which conference?

[Traci W]

Thanks. My kids are lucky enough to have other friends and adults around them with VI's... Do they have sessions she might like or a daycare situation?

My son (and our family) began attending the NFB convention when he was 5.  He made some friends who have been very important in his life.  I’d highly recommend attending the convention.  Maybe the whole convention would be a bit much (we were exhausted meeting so many new people and learning new things) but my bias is towards attending as much as you can.  It’s empowering to see blind kids and blind adults getting out and doing all the things you want your kid to do.
