Could you help me spread the word through NFBI, as I am looking for stories from people who have gone to college and had any sort of struggle with doing things non-visually. It could be social situations, working with DSO, issues with college instructors, really anything and everything. What I'd like to get is what the issue was, and how they handled it. This will help me be able to build a foundation of what sort of things I can cover with my students, and getting as many real-life problems people have faced as possible will help me be able to work with people to find solutions and how to handle these things if it happens to them. Please let me know if you have any questions at all! These can be sent to my email: <a href="mailto:hanna.geisinger@blind.state.ia.us">hanna.geisinger@blind.state.ia.us</a> or if needed, they can always call me at 515-218-5665.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Thank you so much in advance,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div id=Signature><div><div id=divtagdefaultwrapper><div style='margin-top:14.0pt;margin-bottom:14.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Hanna Geisinger</span><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div style='margin-top:14.0pt;margin-bottom:14.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#1F497D'>Life Skills and Jobs Class Instructor</span></b><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div style='margin-top:14.0pt;margin-bottom:14.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Iowa Department for the Blind</span><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div style='margin-top:14.0pt;margin-bottom:14.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>515.218.5665</span><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div style='margin-top:14.0pt;margin-bottom:14.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#500050'><a href="https://blind.iowa.gov/" target="_blank"><b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC'>https://blind.iowa.gov</span></b></a></span><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div style='margin-top:14.0pt;margin-bottom:14.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#6200B8'> </span><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div style='margin-top:14.0pt;margin-bottom:14.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:black'>“A proud partner in the American Job Center network”</span></b><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
