> Hi -
> I work for a television production company in Orlando, FL called
> Pink Sneakers Productions. We produce documentaries and reality
> shows for various networks, including networks like TLC. We are
> currently looking to develop a documentary on blind parents who
> are raising young children. Through our research, we have seen
> the impact that disabilities can have on a family dynamic, but
> through these challenges comes an even stronger family bond. We
> are looking for parents who would be interested in sharing these
> stories. I wanted to reach out to you because your organization
> looks like great resource for some amazing families who might be
> interested in this opportunity, and I'm hoping there is a way we
> can work together to spread the word to your members about this
> opportunity. If you are able to post a message or send out a
> mass email, I have attached a flyer you can use.
> Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about
> this. If there are any organizations you are in contact with,
> please feel free to pass along our information to them as well.
> You can tell the families to email Amy at
> casting at pinksneakers.net. I appreciate any assistance you can
> provide.
> Thank you.

> Dear Colleagues,
>
> Five years ago, the NFB asked all the blood
> glucose meter companies to make a talking meter
> for our members. Prodigy was the only company to
> step up and make a talking meter. At our request,
> they made the first talking Prodigy AutoCode?
> meter. They also worked with many NFB Team
> members for over a year and made the first fully
> audible Prodigy Voice? meter allowing NFB Members
> with diabetes total independence. In 2008, we
> presented the NFB Access + Award to Prodigy for their Prodigy
> Voice? meter.
>
> The Count-A-Dose has been used for many years by
> blind diabetics, so they can independently fill
> their insulin syringes. We were told it would no
> longer be available and we asked Prodigy again to
> help us out. Prodigy bought the patent rights to
> make the Count-A-Dose, and after some slight
> improvements, they released the new Prodigy
> Count-A-Dose? on April 1st, 2010. The NFB
> Independence Market in Baltimore will be selling the Prodigy
> Count-A-Dose?
>
> Later this year, Prodigy will also be releasing
> the first fully audible insulin pump, as well as
> a talking pill bottle, a laser lancing device,
> and other new accessible products. Please pass on
> this information on to blind diabetics.
