[nabs-l] adjusting to high school (was: Re: [] new year)

I like this idea. I think it would be very helpful, especially for those who
are just getting into high school, and those about to graduate.

The problem of blindness is not the lack of eyesight. The real problem is
the misunderstanding and lack of information that exists. If a blind person
has proper training and opportunity, blindness is only a physical nuisance.

Subject: [nabs-l] adjusting to high school (was: Re: [] new year)

High school is  definitely one of the most challenging parts of my life in
more than one sense  learning that I was not  alone  in dealing with
accommodations  and trying to figure out realistic expectations for myself
was certainly something I wish I  had  better feel for.
  
 I am wondering if NABS was to organize a call where high school students
could get some of their questions answered by fellow high school students in
a safe environment would any of you be interested i this?
 we would want to maintain this as a place where high school students would
feel comfortable asking questions  and knowing they would get sound advice
from each other. we  would have a more experienced member of NABS there as a
support, but mainly  this would be the high school student's   time.
  thoughts?

anything I can do to assist anyone on this list with math/science sorts of
things: provide pointers on a question, provide a nonvisual description,
anything like that feel free to contact me. I'm also willing to give
pointers to parents so they can more easily explain things if that would be
helpful as well.
