Hi Matthew,

      If she's not already familiar with it, your girlfriend 
might want to look at www.blindeducators.org.  This is the 
website of the NFBs National Organization of Blind Educators, and 
it gives instructions for how to subscribe to this organization's 
listserv (the one Darian and Mikayla have already mentioned) and 
offers numerous tips for teachers who are blind in the FAQ 
section.  She may also be interested in the book Teachers who are 
Blind or Visually Impaired by Deborah Kendrick, which profiles 18 
blind teachers of various subjects and in various educational 
settings and discusses the techniques that are most useful to 
them.  The site  www.blindteachers.net  has additional profiles 
of successful teachers who are blind, and your girlfriend might 
be able to find still more teachers to connect with through 
signing up with www.afb.org/careerconnect.

      I hope this helps, and best of luck to your girlfriend!

Lucy

Hello all.
My girlfriend is going to school to become an elementary teacher.  
Are there any resources she can use to make blind contacts with? 
Thanks.
