<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone. Please check out the following blog post from the First Lady of the Federation, Melissa Riccobono. She and President Riccobono have 3 children—2 of whom happen to be blind. This is the first in a series of blog posts on this
topic, and we invite you to stay tuned for more on the IEP process, which is often an intimidating one for parents. Welcome to another school year!<o:p></o:p></p>
