Seminars at Hadley Presents: Comfort Foods Made Easy

Date: Tuesday, February 8, 2011

Time:  2:00 p.m. CST, 20:00 GMT

There are times when a little “comfort food” is exactly what we want, whether

it’s beaver tail pastries in Canada, bangers and mash in the U.K., congee in

China or grilled cheese sandwiches and chicken noodle soup in the United

States. Typically defined as inexpensive and simply prepared, comfort food is

often associated with a sense of home or contentment. Do you have a favorite?

Presenters Patti Jacobson, Linn Sorge and Brenda Rice will discuss their

favorite comfort foods, spicing it up with food preparation tips that work for

the cook with a visual impairment. Crockpot, microwave and other approaches

will be discussed.

Moderator Dawn Turco will share some global ideas of comfort food (and a few of

her favorites) during this 60 minute seminar. We will build a resource list

for sharing our favorites!

New Courses @ Hadley

We are pleased to annouce the debut of two new courses, "Self-Employment with a

Minimal Investment" and "The Essentials of the Nemeth Code."

The Nemeth Code for mathematics and science notation allows people to read and

write technical materials in braille. Hadley’s new “The Essentials of the

Nemeth Code” provides the symbols, rules and formatting needed for reading a

math or science textbook and using the Nemeth Code for completing homework or

other calculations. After having learned the basics, students can then learn

the symbols used in more advanced mathematics. This course is open to ACE and

High School program students. Sighted family members and professionals are

welcome to enroll in Hadley’s course, “Basic Nemeth Code.” For more information

on either course or to register, follow these links:

[2]The Essentials of the Nemeth Code (NEM-101)

[3]Basic Nemeth Code (BNC-111)

“Self-Employment with a Minimal Investment” focuses on small businesses that

involve an investment of $500 or less. This informational course guides

students through the exploratory processes of starting a small business. The

lessons inspire and encourage while remaining realistic about expectations, as

students determine if self-employment is a realistic pursuit for them. It

presents the basics of discovering a business idea, preparing a budget and

developing business and marketing plans, as well as information about

disability programs and benefits. This course is open to students in all four

programs. For more information or to register, follow these links:

[4]Self-Employment with a Minimal Investment (EMP-201-for ACE and HS students)

[5]Self-Employment with a Minimal Investment (EMP-211-for FE students)
