Seminars at Hadley Presents: The Keys to Successful Nondriving
 
Date: Wednesday, January 23, 2013
 
Time: 10:00 AM CST, 16:00 GMT 
Face it, having a driver's license is viewed as a key to independence. Also
a fact: you can be independent without one!
When you're a nondriver due to a visual impairment, you have to be creative
and organized to be successful in this car-oriented society. Have you
considered the advantages and disadvantages of each method of travel to
determine what works for you in your community? Budgeting for travel,
planning for when things don't go well and using your time during travel
efficiently are all important considerations to mastering the world of
nondriving.
Join Seminars at Hadley as L. Penny Rosenblum, Ph.D., associate professor of
practice at the University of Arizona and Arizona State University student
Bryan Duarte discuss everything nondriving from a professional and personal
perspective.
Hadley Senior Vice President Dawn Turco, also a nondriver, will moderate
this 60-minute seminar. A question and answer session will be included as
part of the seminar.
Space in this seminar is limited. Please only register if you know you are
available to attend so that others are not closed out.

Seminars at Hadley Presents: UEB & You: What You Need to Know About Unified
English Braille
 
Date: Thursday, January 24, 2013
 
Time: 10:00 AM CST, 16:00 GMT 
At the last meeting of the Braille Authority of North America (BANA),
Unified English Braille (UEB) was adopted as a code for the United States.
What are the implications of UEB adoption? This webinar will give a brief
background on the development of UEB and some basic characteristics of the
code (what's changed and what's the same). Learn how these code changes will
impact electronic braille and back-translation, transcription, education,
etc. A date has not yet been set for use of UEB, as an implementation plan
is being developed.
Join Seminars at Hadley as Frances Mary D'Andrea, chair, Braille Authority of
North America (BANA), discusses what the UEB adoption means for our braille
community and how you can become involved in the implementation plan.
Hadley Dean of Educational Programs and Instruction Doug Anzlovar will
moderate this 60-minute seminar. A question and answer session will be
included as part of the seminar.
Space in this seminar is limited. Please only register if you know you are
available to attend so that others are not closed out.
