>> Hello, Caitlin, Liliya and Emily!
>> 
>> I wondered if you could forward this to any of the following people
>> you might know in New Jersey or Connecticut:
>> TVI's of transition age students;
>> Parents of college-bound high school or college students ages 14-22;
>> college students ages 18-22. (Students over eighteen may attend
>> without parent; students under eighteen should attend with parent or
>> guardian.)
>> 
>> Thank you!
>> 
>> Kristen
>> 
>> 
>> Learning Ally is looking for input from CT and NJ TVIs and families
>> about the transition to college for blind or visually impaired
>> students.

>> Focus Group on Transition for Academic Blind or Visually Impaired Students
>> Learning Ally is looking for a limited number of Connecticut and New
>> Jersey teachers, parents and students to join us for a virtual focus
>> group. As a thank you, each teacher or family who attends the focus
>> group will receive a $100 Amazon gift card.
>> 
>> We will ask questions about preparing blind or visually impaired
>> students for life after high school with a particular emphasis on
>> college: what you do now and what you would like to do if time was no
>> issue! Your struggles and challenges are what we want to investigate.
>> 
>> Please join us for open and honest discussion around this very important topic.
