[nabs-l] The Self Advocacy in Higher Education Seminar at National Convention

[Cazares, Gabe]

Howdy Students,

The 2016 NFB National Convention is a little over a week away, and as you make your daily schedules for what promises to be another action-packed week of meetings and seminars, I want to encourage you to include the Self Advocacy in Higher Education Seminar. This seminar is a workshop for current or soon-to-be undergraduate or graduate students to know your legal rights and learn effective strategies for self-advocacy in obtaining accommodations and accessing instructional materials and digital content.

I hope to see many of you on Sunday July 3, from 6:00 - 7:30 pm in Wekiwa 5, Level 1. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

Best,

...Gabe

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
