[Blindtlk] Independence Market at the convention

[Julie J.]

There is also a cane walk/instruction seminar available for kids and 
parents.  I'm remembering that it is a part of the National      
Association of Parents with Blind Children events and is usually in the 
morning.  typically there is a breif introductory segment in a lecture 
format, then kids and parents are paired up with volunteer instructors 
to explore the hotel while learning cane travel skills.  Participants 
wear sleepshades during the event.   There are ooddles of canes 
available to use if you don't have one, want to try something different 
or the instructor would like you to try a different cane.

Have fun at convention!
