<i>Navigating the Healthcare system, When All They Can See Is That You Can't</i>. We will discuss this common situation that so many of us have found ourselves in.</span></p>

Here is more about our special guest: Deborah Kendrick is an award-winning writer, editor, and poet. In 1986, she launched a weekly column, ‘Alive and Well,” in the Cincinnati Enquirer, the first of its kind to focus on disability rights. The column ran for
30 years in a variety of newspapers including syndication by King Features, enjoying its longest run in the Columbus Dispatch.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 105%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
In 1985, she created TACTIC, a quarterly magazine covering access technology, which enjoyed international readership. She served as editor until 2000, when TACTIC was subsumed by the American Foundation for the Blind to launch AccessWorld, where she continues
as senior features editor. Her work has appeared in dozens of national and regional publications, including
<i>Woman’s </i>Day, <i>Marriage and </i>Family, Parenting, St. Anthony Messenger, Executive Lifestyles,
<i>Ohio </i>Magazine, <i>Independence Today </i>News, Dialogue, <i>Careers and the
</i>Disabled, and many others. Her work has been honored by the Society for Professional Journalists, the Ohio Arts Council, the Society for Technical Communications, the Association of Women Communicators, and others. Her most treasured awards include the
Maurice McCracken Peace and Justice Award, the AFB Access Award, the Inclusion Network Lifetime Achievement Award, and the EDI (Equality Dignity Independence) Award from the National Easter Seal Society. She has served on numerous nonprofit boards and governor-appointed
councils, most recently Guide Dogs for the Blind and the Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired. In 2019, her book Navigating Health Care when all they Can See is that you Can’t, was published by National Braille Press. Her newest book,
<i>When Your Ears Can’t Help You See, is in production, release date pending. She is past president of the Cincinnati NFB chapter, has been secretary and board member of the Ohio affiliate, and involved with the Blind Journalists group. She will talk to the
Senior Division about the road to writing and publishing Navigating Health Care, as well as providing some useful information from the book itself. She loves discussions of writing and editing and will spend as much time answering questions as needed.
