[nabs-l] Blind Teachers

[Arielle Silverman]

Hi Robert,
There is an organization called the National Organization of Blind
Educators (NOBE) that is a division of the NFB. They have members who
are blind and teach in public elementary, middle and high schools.
NOBE has a listserv, which you can find at
www.nfbnet.org
Click "Join or Drop NFBNet lists" and then "NOBE-L" to sign up. I
would encourage your student to sign up as well, and definitely
support her choice of career. I have attended two NOBE meetings, and
met several successful blind teachers. It is definitely something she
will be able to do competently.
Best,
Arielle
