Good morning!

I am pleased to announce that Dezman Jackson will be joining Blind Industries and Services of Maryland on November 28 as our Youth Coordinator. I am very excited about Dezman joining our fantastic Rehabilitation Division and look forward to the programs that are to come. Dezman graduated from Louisiana Tech University in 2010 with a MA in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, concentration in Orientation and Mobility. Dezman also has a National Orientation and Mobility Certification (NOMC) and National Certification in Literary Braille (NLCB).

When asked what the ideal program for blind children and youth would look like. Dezman said in part, "...things he wished he had had when he was growing up such as more training, after school programs, and programs for his parents..." Dezman is going to be a great asset to our Rehabilitation Division and I look forward to our working together to develop programs that will allow us to reach blind children, youth, young adults, and parents of blind children across the state and as a result change what it means to be blind.

In the meantime, if you have any ideas or suggestions about programs for our youth, young adults, and parents please be sure to share them with me.

Warm regards,

Amy C. Phelps, CRC, NOMC
