Expanding possibilities for people with vision loss
We are pleased to announce that the webinar Blind Teaching the Blind: Effective Strategies for Vision Loss Professionals Who Are Blind or Visually Impaired<http://www.afb.org/store/Pages/ShoppingCart/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=eBlindTeachBlind> is now available in the AFB eLearning Center.

This presentation is geared toward new and practicing vision rehabilitation professionals who are visually impaired, students in personnel preparation programs and rehabilitation facility supervisors.

Jennifer Ottowitz, CVRT, describes how the use of non-visual adaptations can greatly enhance your performance of job skills. She explains how these techniques will enable you to be a more positive and effective role model for students and consumers. Suggestions for the professional who is blind or visually impaired include:

  *   considerations for when to use non-visual adaptations,
  *   effective strategies for monitoring students/consumers,
  *   specific examples of adaptations in core domain areas.

The webinar has been approved by ACVREP and CRCC for 1 hour of continuing education credit.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical
nuisance."Kenneth Jernigan

        Hello, Everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself, and reach out to others interested in math and science.

My name is Ian  Bray.  I am only recently blind, and am trying to finish my Bachelors and continue my Masters of Education to teach.

I am in Louisville, Kentucky and still in " Blind Rehab ", but about to graduate from that program.

I am also looking for ANY Peer or Professional Mentors who can and will talk to me regarding becomming a Teacher / Educator.

I'm having some difficulty with going back to school and could use some help / guidance.

Thank you all in advance!

Respectfully,

Ian  C. Bray
Louisville, KY
