[nabs-l] A possible outreach idea

[Anjelina Cruz]

Hi all,
I'm still interested in working to create such a booklet for high
school and college students. This is quite a huge idea, and if
something like this already exists then it'd be best if we don't
reinvent the wheel. I'm not sure about high schools, but the college I
attended had other students who were visually impaired but they
weren't able to obtain information from the DS office about assistive
technology and struggled with magnifiers and enlarged screens. Rather
then depending on the DS office or rehab to offer we have this list,
but I'm sure where is a large number of students we could reach with a
booklet. Are there more thoughts on this?
Any disagreement? Who would be interested and willing to invest time
in getting this off the ground?
Thanks :)
