Hi, Bill. I'm with the ETS Office of Disability Policy, and I'm a lurker on this list.
Information about accessible practice materials for the GRE General Test can be found at http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/prepare/disabilities.
(Judging by the error messages I received, I think my earlier attempts at posting this message bounced; if they indeed came through, then I apologize for the multiple posts.)
You can request hard-copy alternate format practice materials, including the practice test for the self-voicing GRE General Test, by contacting ETS Disability Services: stassd at ets.org, or 866-387-8602.
Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions. Good luck!

Hello,
I am planning on retaking the GRE sometime in the fall. I was
wondering what accessible materials people have used in order to fully
prepare for these exams.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi John,
As Arielle mentioned (thank you Arielle!) there will be a NABS social
on Saturday June 30. It will start at 9:00pm. The room is yet to be
determined, but it will be in the Affiliate Action suite, wherever
that ends up being. All information will be provided in convention
agenda, as well as being posted to this list and distributed in our
monthly update.
Hope to see you there,
Sean

Friends:
Today, May 17, 2012 is not just an ordinary Thursday. Today, is in
fact, Give to Lincoln Day. ON this most magical of Thursdays,
nonprofit organizations that serve constituants in the city of
Lincoln, and surrounding Lancaster county, are raising money to
support their programs and services.
I think most of you know how important being a member of the NFB is to
me. This organization has had a profound impact on my life, ?by
connecting me with positive blind mentors, and allowing me to give
back in a number of ways. I am asking you to consider a donation to
the NFB of Nebraska today. Why today? Well, as I said before, this is
a Magical Thursday. Fore, you see, your donation will be matched by
the Lincoln Community Foundation. That's right, whatever generous
donation you are able to give will actually be instantly* multiplied
and will have double the impact in the community.
The NFBN does a number of good things throughout the state that I
think you ?will find worth while. We work with parents to help their
children learn Braille (without which, they will join the nearly
ninety percent of blind adults who are illiterate); we conduct
seminars for students and parents introducing them to the alternative
techniques of blindness; we provide scholarships to blind college
students; and are involved in many more activities that promote a
positive blindness philosophy.
Please take a moment and visit
http://j.mp/g2lnfbn
and make a
donation. Please also share this with anyone else in your circle of
contacts you think may be willing to support us.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Tony Olivero
