Subject: [NABS-L] Inclusion The Motto
Message-ID: <CAF=_z1GexCEcTw2abbE5=P3PnVFdJH7RkzObByaTZKvvo0husw@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings all,
I just wanted to share something that I've been working on for quite a
while with you all.
It started out as a youtube channel known as "Inclusion The Motto", the
idea behind which was to bridge the gap between blind and sighted, to
empower and educate sited folk on how us blind do various things, to also
hopefully try to reduce some of the not-too-great ideologies they hold
about us, all the stereotypes etc. I often think it is also the lack of
knowledge and not ignorance that may lead to such ideas or encounters.
I have tried to put this message across in all the videos I've uploaded in
an interactive and fun way, often having people on who've had first-hand
experience(either because they themselves are blind and have managed to be
quite successful in life or sighted people directly associated to blind
folk who were able to give a much better insight into how things work and
clear many of the doubts that people have).
My content has always been for everyone to listen to, as some of the tips
given by the blind/VI people I interviewed proved to be  quite useful in
our lives as well, in order to tackle all the challenges that we face on a
daily basis.
However, recently I have started working on a brand new series of sorts
which I think will be especially useful for us folk who rely on screen
readers for our daily life tasks.
So quite often, at least here where I come from, I've come across the
mindset that people seem to have that us blind people cannot tackle higher
level mathematics and science subjects, because they are too graphical,
they cannot be represented with a screen reader accurately enough and
although this may be true to an extent where extremely complicated
geometric figures or graphs are involved, things such as symbols and
equations can be written (and red) just fine.
What is sad is that here, many blind students start believing it as well
and give up on said subjects, dropping them entirely in high school even if
they wish to study them further. Either that, or they end up going for a
scribe(writer) to write their exams for them.
This is exactly what this series intends to improve.
I, myself, am a hundred percent blind student, have been by birth.
Therefore,  I have a reasonably good idea of the challenges that come into
play when doing stem subjects on a computer with screen-reading software.
However, I did not drop them after 10th grade when we usually get to select
the subjects that we intend on pursuing for our final two years of school;
neither did I opt for a scribe. I was interested in them, so I decided to
take that leap into the unknown, as it were.
I am very much happy to say that this is possible, and the technologies
that I got to discover along the way are what I will be showing off in the
series, as they are unfortunately not as well known as they should be.
Therefore, please share the link of the channel around to people that you
know who might be in need of this; technology is improving day by day and
It is my hope that one day us blind kids will be able to safely say that
science and maths subject are completely inclusive and accessible,
something that we can study without hassle along with our sighted
counterparts. However, this also requires determination, as well as
knowledge. Knowledge that I hope to impart from this series, and  the
channel in general.
I hope you like it, and please do not hesitate to tell us what you think in
the comments section, feedback is what Inclusion The Motto is all about.
Without further ado, here is the link for the channel:

Hello fellow fun-loving federation family members,



As a division, we students are known for bringing energy, excitement, and
enthusiasm to everything we do. Whether that be our regional seminars or
our student programming at Washington Seminar and National Convention, we
aim to bring as much passion to the things we do as possible. And this
year, with the possibility of in-person events resuming, we are more
committed than ever to serving the needs of blind students across the
country. It is our goal to expose as many students as possible to the power
of our movement. To achieve this, we need funds. That’s where you, our
membership, come in. By joining in on the efforts of the Fundraising
Committee, you can tangibly contribute to our mission. We are working to
push blind students across the country to strive for success. Fundraising
is truly a team effort, so we need all the help we can get. Join us on
Sunday, August 8th at 9:00 pm Eastern 6:00 pm Pacific for our first
Fundraising Committee meeting post-convention!



We look forward to having as many people there as possible. And remember,
there is a reason the word “fun” is in fundraising!

Subject: [NABS-L] Cool Runnings!
Message-ID: <015c01d789df$8552afe0$8ff80fa0$@gmail.com>

Hi students 

Come join the National Federation of the Blind of SC for movie night on Friday, August 6, 2021, at 8:00 PM Eastern for audio described movie night! 

In honor of the Summer Olympics, we will be showing the movie Cool Runnings! Below is more information about the movie.

Plot
In November 1987, Jamaican sprinter Derice Bannock trains to qualify for the 100 metres in the 1988 Summer Olympics. He fails to qualify when fellow runner Junior Bevil accidentally stumbles, knocking himself, Derice, and Yul Brenner down.

Derice vents his frustrations to Barrington Coolidge, the President of the Jamaica Olympic Association. He spots a photograph in Coolidge’s office, featuring his late father Ben, standing next to a fellow Olympic gold medal winner. Coolidge identifies the man as disgraced American bobsled medallist Irv Blitzer, who was disqualified for cheating in the 1972 Winter Olympics. Derice realises he could participate in the 1988 Winter Olympics by forming a bobsled team, recruiting his friend Sanka Coffie, a pushcart derby champion.

Blitzer, working in Jamaica as a bookie, at first refuses to help Derice, until learning he is Ben Bannock’s son. A recruitment drive fails, but the arrival of Junior and Yul allows Derice to form the required four-man bobsled team. The team train with Blitzer, though Coolidge refuses to fund the $20,000 needed to participate in the Olympics, believing the inexperienced team will bring shame to Jamaica. The team find various ways to raise the money, ranging from singing on the street to arm wrestling. Junior, who avoids telling his father about the team, sells his car to finance the trip to Canada.

In Calgary, Blitzer registers the team, receiving an old bobsled from his former teammate Roger. The Jamaicans struggle to drive the bobsled and adapt to the cold, though exercise and hard work eventually pay off. Derice begins to copy the techniques of the Swiss team. Sanka, Junior, and Yul get into a bar fight with the snobbish East German team, and are reprimanded by Derice.

The team successfully qualifies for the finals, only to be disqualified by the Olympic committee, as retribution for Blitzer’s prior cheating scandal. Blitzer confronts Kurt Hemphill, his former coach, now a judge in the committee, asking him not to punish the Jamaicans, as they had nothing to do with his cheating scandal. That night, the team are informed that they have been reinstated. On the night the Olympics formally open, Junior’s father arrives to retrieve his son, but Junior stands by his commitment to compete, earning Yul’s respect.

The team’s first day on the track is abysmal, finishing in last place. Sanka realises Derice is copying the Swiss team’s methods, and encourages the team to 'bobsled Jamaican'. They improve on the second day, finishing in eighth place. During their final race, one of the bobsled’s blades detaches, causing it to flip over and crash. Determined to finish the race, the Jamaicans pick up their bobsled and carry it across the finish line, earning the applause of the other teams and the spectators. An epilogue explains the team would return home as heroes, then return to the 1992 Winter Olympics to participate as equals.

Filming locations
The film was shot in Calgary and Jamaica in February and March 1993. The cast and crew filmed in Calgary first, to take advantage of the snow. Then they filmed at the Jamaican parishes of Discovery Bay and Kingston.[1] Dawn Steel was on the set every day in Calgary and Jamaica. According to Robinson, "(Steel) worked on the second unit for a while, and she said 'Never again. I never want to direct.'"[3]

Differences between real life and film

Organization
The Jamaicans were disqualified temporarily by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), but it was not an appeal by the coach that led the IOC to reverse this decision. The IOC received several appeals to reverse their decision, including one from Prince Albert of Monaco.[21]

Competition
While the Jamaicans did crash their bobsled on their third out of four scheduled runs, the film implied the team was a medal contender, having run a world record pace prior to the crash. In reality, they were in 24th place (out of 26) after their first run was completed in 58.04. Their second run was completed in 59.37, which was the next-to-worst time (25th). On the third run, they had the worst time (1:03.19, good for 26th place), due to the crash, which was almost five seconds behind the 25th fastest run. Of the 103 runs that were completed in the four-man competition, nobody else posted a time over one minute. So after three runs, the Jamaicans were in 26th (last) place with a cumulative time of 3:00.60 after three runs. This placed them 3.23 seconds behind Portugal for 25th place, and 10.19 seconds behind the Soviet team that was in third-place heading into the final run. If they had taken part in the final run, they would have had to complete a world-record shattering time under 48.00 seconds to bring home a medal.[22]

Crash
In the film, the crash happens on the third and final run and is depicted to have been caused by a mechanical failure in the front left blade of the sled. As the driver steers, a nut and bolt on the control column work loose, eventually causing a loss of control as the bobsleigh comes out of a turn and subsequently crashes.

In reality, the crash happened in the third out of four runs, and it was deemed that driver inexperience, excess speed, and regressing the turn too high caused the sled to become unstable and top-heavy seconds prior to it toppling onto its left side. The team did not start the fourth and final run.

Real TV footage of the actual crash was used in the film but was heavily edited to fit in with the film's version of the crash. Both the run and the high speed crash were disorienting: team member Nelson Chris Stokes "felt a bump" when they tipped but did not realize they had turned over until he started to smell his helmet (which was fiberglass) friction-burning on the ice, "which is something that stays with you for many years afterward."[23]

After the crash, the film depicted the Jamaicans carrying their sled on their shoulders to the finish to a slow-building standing ovation. In reality, they did not carry the sled but walked next to it. When the sled tipped, they were doing 130 km/h (81 mph), and their helmets scraped against the wall for 600 m (2,000 ft) until they came to a stop.[24] They also received somewhat sporadic applause, less than the crescendo response in the movie,[25] but the real bobsled driver Dudley Stokes cites the spectator applause as the reason the run turned from tragedy to triumph for him.[24]

Four-man sled vs two-man sled
The film also gives the impression that the Jamaicans were the only team from Central America and the Caribbean. This was the case in the four-man sled competition, which the movie focuses on. However, in the two-man competition there was also a bobsled team from Netherlands Antilles which finished 29th (one place ahead of Jamaica's two-man sled team) and two teams from United States Virgin Islands which finished 35th and 38th.[26]

The film focuses entirely on the four-man bobsled team, which crashed their sled and finished last out of the 26 teams, as all 25 other teams were able to complete all four runs. It ignores the fact that two members of the team (Dudley Stokes and Michael White) also competed in the two-man sled competition and successfully completed all four runs, finishing in 30th place out of 38 teams that finished all runs, with three other teams which did not finish. The remaining members of the four man sled team were Devon Harris and Chris Stokes (Dudley's younger brother).[27] In fact the whole formation of the bob-sleigh project as depicted in the film is incorrect. The film depicts them as forming the team as a four-man bobsleigh team right from the start. In reality, they started the project intending to compete in the two-man bobsleigh event only. They only decided to compete in the four-man event after having already completed the two-man event in Calgary.[21]

Other differences
In the movie, the weather is depicted as bitterly cold with a temperature of −25 °C (−13 °F). Actual temperatures in Calgary during the Games were well above normal, including some daytime highs above 16 °C (61 °F).[28]

Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act Introduced into House

The Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act (H.R. 4853) was introduced
in the United States House of Representatives on Thursday, July 29. The
bill was introduced by Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). This is
important legislation that calls upon the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) to promulgate nonvisual accessibility standards for Class II and
Class III medical devices with digital displays. This standard would apply
to devices such as glucometers, sleep apnea machines, blood pressure
monitors, thermometers, and oximeters. Full access to all features of a
device is critical and achievable.

The National Federation of the Blind supports this legislation. Read the
full press release and quote from President Mark Riccobono
<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=22495&qid=5853936>.
Legislative Alert: How to Help Promote

Members of the National Federation of the Blind can help urge support of
this act. Your calls and emails to representatives make a difference.

When you email or call your representative you might share something like:

"Hello, I’m [YOUR NAME], and I am a constituent of [REPRESENTATIVE NAME]. I
live in [CITY, STATE]. I would like to urge [REPRESENTATIVE NAME] to
cosponsor the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act (H.R. 4853). This
legislation authorizes the FDA to establish a minimum nonvisual access
standard for Class II and Class III medical devices with a digital
interface so that blind people can operate them safely and independently.

Thanks."

When you email your representative, please copy Stephanie Flynt at
sflynt at nfb.org <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=22483&qid=5853936>

Subject: [NABS-L] Keeping up with CABS: Events Galore
Message-ID: <CABP7S8NmYuG0gWJR4YYpMuVg1NjA51_Lbow32B4Dhf1xg6xh1A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

The best way to kick off the week is with another dose of Keeping up
With CABS—the only reality show that’s all reality, no drama. “All
reality, no drama”… Good presidential campaign slogan, but make sure
to acknowledge the source if you use it! Or actually, maybe you
shouldn’t…

Anyway, we have lots of cool opportunities coming your way. First,
we’re starting a Double Good popcorn fundraiser tomorrow; it ends on
August 14th. What kind of crunchy goodness do you like? Kettle corn?
Cheddar corn? Half and half? Pecan popcorn? Double Good has it all,
and if you can get past the mildly exorbitant prices, it’s very high
quality, and homemade. Half of the proceeds go straight to CABS, so we
encourage you to donate to events and opportunities for all blind
students in California. I’ll send the link tomorrow for some awesome
crunchy, salty, not-too-healthy goodness.

Next up, we have a Jeopardy game on Saturday for CABS Connect. Join us
at 7:00 Pacific to test your trivia knowledge. The URL is
http://tinyURL.com/CABSConnect

And lastly, we have our annual reception on Saturday, August 28th at
10:00 Pacific. The theme is “Mind if I Sit Here? From Zoom to
Classroom”, and we have three incredible speakers, some games, and
$125 in door prizes. Not from California? That’s totally fine. Come
join us anyway, and bring your friends. The URL is
tinyURL.com/CXBZoomRoom

Important dates:

Jeopardy night: Saturday, August 14th at 7:00 PM Pacific
URL: http://tinyURL.com/CABSConnect

CABS Reception: Saturday, August 28th, 10:00 AM Pacific
URL: http://tinyURL.com/CXBZoomRoom

See you there!

Best,
Cricket (on behalf of the CABS board)

Message-ID: <CA+Y5FgGjYW4CHmp5vKMFOz2TAO902ehUEdXY3eSrbdABqL2scA@mail.gmail.com>

Attention NABS,



It’s time to cleat up, throw on some pads, strap on your helmet, have loads
of fun, raise some cold hard cash, and play some fantasy football! Yup,
that’s right, NABS Fantasy Football is back! Now is your time to shine. For
a $25 entry fee, you could manage your very own fantasy team to victory and
a $100 payout! Don’t worry about your experience level; our leagues are
open to all. In fact, last year, a couple of our leagues were championed by
first-time players who triumphed over even the most experienced players.



Our fantasy football fundraiser is truly a fun-raiser. It’s a great way to
support our movement while having a blast and getting your competitive
juices flowing. Our fantasy football leagues consist of 12 player leagues,
with each team competing head-to-head over the 14-week regular season. The
top four teams in each league advance to the 2 weeklong playoffs, where one
team emerges to gloriously take home the $100 prize. Don’t worry if you are
a complete newbie to fantasy football. We will be holding an informational
call on Wednesday, August 18th, to answer any and all questions you may
have!



If you are interested in participating this year, contact one of our four
superb league commissioners to sign up.

Robert Parsons: robert.e.parsons at wmich.edu

Logan Stenzel: stenzellogan at gmail.com



If you have any general questions or are looking to get randomly placed
into a league, contact Logan Stenzel at stenzellogan at gmail.com. If a
specific league is filled up, don’t worry, we will get you placed into one
of our other leagues! We want everyone to be able to participate if they
are interested! If for some reason the football season gets cut short
before Week 8, we will refund your entry fee. Otherwise, we will crown a
champion based on the first 8 weeks of competition.



Make sure to share this initiative with all your friends and family, the
more the merrier. If you are looking for more detailed information about
fantasy, check out the attached “how to” document.



Good luck to all who participate this year, we look forward to having some
friendly federation fun on the virtual football field!



Yours Truly,

Commissioner Stenzel

CONVENTION NOTES

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND PLEDGE
I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity and security for the blind; to support the programs and policies of the Federation and to abide by its constitution.

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND ONE MINUTE MESSAGE
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.

INTEGRITY AND RESPECT
As with all NFB of SC functions, our members are held to the highest standards of decorum outlined in the National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina’s Code of Conduct.  To allow all attendees the chance to benefit from all aspects of the convention, we are committed to providing a harassment-free environment for everyone. We appreciate your assistance in cultivating an atmosphere in which participants from diverse backgrounds may learn, network, and share with each other in an environment of mutual respect. Thank you for doing your part to contribute to our community and the high expectations we strive to maintain.

We welcome Scott LaBarre as our national representative to the NFB of SC 65th annual state convention!
Scott C. LaBarre, Esq. 
LaBarre Law Offices P.C.
Denver, Colorado

Scott C. LaBarre owns and operates LaBarre Law Offices P.C., (LLO).  LLO specializes in employment law, disability rights, Randolph-Sheppard Act cases, and some international policy work, particularly in the area of copyright law.  Additionally, through his law practice, LaBarre is now serving as General Counsel to the National Federation of the Blind where he helps manage a multi-million dollar legal advocacy program as well as advising the organization on a variety of legal issues faced by a nonprofit.  Mr. LaBarre has appeared in federal and state courts throughout the United States securing many important victories for his clients such as Enyart v. National Conference of Bar Examiners, 630 F.3d 1153 (9th Cir. 2011)(securing the right for blind students to use assistive technology as an accommodation on the multistate bar exam) and Cannon v. Palmer College of Chiropractic, 850 N.W.2d 326 (Iowa 2014)(securing the right of a blind student to pursue a doctor of chiropractic degree with his requested accommodations).  He is permanently admitted before the Supreme Court of the United States, the United States Courts of Appeals for the Second, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and DC Circuits, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, the Supreme Court of Colorado, and the Maryland Court of Appeals (Maryland’s highest court).  LaBarre has been named one of Colorado’s Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers, distinctions recognizing the top five percent of Colorado attorneys. 

Prior to launching his own firm in July of 1998, Mr. LaBarre acted as general counsel for the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) of Colorado, where he specialized in laws affecting the blind and disabled, serving in that capacity for over four years.  Even after establishing LLO, he has remained very active in the NFB through his volunteer service in many leadership roles.  In October of 2005, members of the NFB of Colorado elected LaBarre their President.  He also serves as Chairman of the Preauthorized Contributions Committee, one of the Federation’s major national fundraisers.  Additionally, he is President of the National Association of Blind Lawyers and serves as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Colorado Center for the Blind.  The Federation has presented LaBarre with the Raymond W. McGeorge Award in 2010 for his work on behalf of the blind in Colorado and the Dr. Jacob Bolotin Award in 2014 for his efforts to achieve successful adoption of the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Individuals Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, and Otherwise Print Disabled.  

Since 2010, LaBarre has acted as the NFB’s lead delegate to the World Intellectual Property Organization’s (WIPO’s) Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights to work on an international treaty to create the international exchange of published works in accessible formats for the blind and print disabled leading to the adoption of the Marrakesh Treaty in June of 2013.  This work has led to his election to the Accessible Books Consortium Board, a body sponsored by WIPO and designed to serve as an entity implementing the Marrakesh Treaty on a practical level, promote cross-border exchange of accessible books for the print disabled, and to encourage inclusive publishing.

As an original and current member of the Steering Committee, LaBarre helped to establish the Federation’s Jacobus tenBroek Disability Law Symposium which gathers leaders from all sectors in the arena of disability law to discuss the current status of the law and to plan needed reform.  LaBarre has presented at the Symposium on several occasions.

He is active in national, state and local bar associations through his service in many roles.  LaBarre is a founding member of the Disability Rights Bar Association and serves on its Executive Board as Vice Chair.  In August of 2019, LaBarre completed a three-year term on the American Bar Association’s Board of Governors where he chaired the Member Services Committee and served on the Board’s Executive Committee during his last year.  He has also been a Commissioner on the ABA’s Commission on Disability Rights and served as its Chair from 2004-2007.  Mr. LaBarre is also very active in the ABA's Solo, Small Firm, and General Practice Division and reassumed a position on its governing council starting in August of 2013, previously serving on the Division’s Council from 2005 through 2009.  He currently serves as the Division’s Chair Elect and will become Chair of the Division in 2022.  ABA President Reginald Turner has asked LaBarre to serve on the ABA’s Standing Committee on Meetings and Travel and the Steering Committee of ABA’s Practice Forward, a committee appointed to examine the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the practice of law.  LaBarre represents the Denver Bar Association as a Delegate to the ABA’s House of Delegates where he serves on the House’s Working Group on Operations.  In the last two decades plus, he has also taken on the roles of a Director on the ABA’s Young Lawyers Division’s governing council, Vice Chairman and a member of the ABA-YLD Bar Leadership Team, YLD Liaison to the ABA Commission on Mental and Physical Disability Law, a member of the Colorado Bar Association Board of Governors, and Treasurer and a member of the Executive Council of the Denver Bar Association’s Young Lawyers.  

Mr. LaBarre received his Juris Doctor from the University of Minnesota in 1993 and his Bachelor of Arts from St. John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota in 1990.  He left Minnesota in 1993 to work at the National Headquarters of the National Federation of the Blind then moving to Colorado in 1994.  He is married to a wonderful woman who originally hales from Armenia, Anahit Galechyan.  Anahit and Scott have two children, Alexander (born October 2002) and Emily (born December 2004).  The LaBarres welcomed Moka, a vivacious and effervescent    Labradoodle, into their family in May of 2019.

You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

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.

Thank you Daniel for your like prompt reply!





Yes, I do recall the financial transaction, and I think tomorrow would work out pretty well for me.





Would 1:00 PM work for you?





Thanks.

 challenges of going back to in-person schooling
Message-ID: <CAFXV1qWCzuyxfA84Utj=wsR-q6WEdp_YDyAw8z+ZXt28uLMwZQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hey NABS!

Please join us as we kick off our first of many monthly membership calls on
Sunday, August 22nd, at 9 pm eastern.

We will be joined by several outstanding guests, who will offer their
perspectives and advice on navigating the challenges that come with going
back to in-person courses, living on or near campus, and taking care of
yourself during this drastic lifestyle change. Come share and engage in a
discussion geared towards talking about the specific challenges we as blind
students may face in these environments.

The first half of the call will be used to discuss a few prepared questions
about a variety of topics from mental health to social life on campus.
Following that, the second half of the call will be allocated to talking
about the unique questions or topics that you as the audience have to
share.

We assure you that this will be a great opportunity to hear and learn about
some of the topics that are often not talked about when the conversation of
going back to in-person schooling is discussed, taking on the focus of a
blind student's experiences.

When: August 22nd at 9 pm eastern

Dear NABSters,

As most of you know, I coordinate career mentoring and employment programs at the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute. In so doing, I regularly work with transition youth, blindness professionals, and others from whom I often field inquiries from VR counselors but also students interested in working in the medical profession. I am aware that there are blind and low vision people successfully working and studying in this area. I'd like to mine your creative brains to see whether and how we might assemble some sort of group or resource where inquiries such as these could be referred. If it were a website, for example, perhaps there could be articles and contact information to those willing to discuss or provide helpful tips, something along the lines of a FAQ. I suspect there may even be members of this list working in this area of study. Wouldn't it be great to also have a centralized space where you could share information, challenges, and concerns?

Your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions shall be most sincerely welcomed and appreciated.

You could create an Nfb Mailing list specifically for those in the medical field. I would also suggest creating one for those in the Customer Service industry. Let me know what you think of this jea.

Dear NABSters,

As most of you know, I coordinate career mentoring and employment programs at the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute. In so doing, I regularly work with transition youth, blindness professionals, and others from whom I often field inquiries from VR counselors but also students interested in working in the medical profession. I am aware that there are blind and low vision people successfully working and studying in this area. I'd like to mine your creative brains to see whether and how we might assemble some sort of group or resource where inquiries such as these could be referred. If it were a website, for example, perhaps there could be articles and contact information to those willing to discuss or provide helpful tips, something along the lines of a FAQ. I suspect there may even be members of this list working in this area of study. Wouldn't it be great to also have a centralized space where you could share information, challenges, and concerns?

Your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions shall be most sincerely welcomed and appreciated.

Hi Roanna, 

I think that is a grand idea. I also think we need a champion, in other words, perhaps a medical student or professional to initiate the interest in such a list. 

Thank you so much and please keep the great ideas and suggestions coming! 

Best, 

Maurice Peret

*CALLING ALL FUTURE COLLEGE STUDENTS!!!*

Ok, so let me get straight to the point. *My first year in college was an
absolute mess* with admissions, financial aid paperwork, financial aid
issues, issues with my accessability, and more. *I** want to help others in
times of need, so here's what I've done.* I'm hosting an event, and it's a
Google meet crash course that will give you all the ins and outs of
financial aid, the admissions process, VR, scholarships, and some success
tips. You can even sign up to receive resources by email via the link in
the event's description. This is a charitable event. It costs $1.99 and
all, and I mean all the money is going to Guide Dogs for the Blind. The
event will be hosted on Friday, August 27 at 5:00 PM CDT. If you can't make
it, register anyway, because there will be a replay posted in the event
after.

Register here: https://fb.me/e/J7lHrDub

Sign up for free resources here: https://forms.gle/KhY9RYgd43GZi3cYA

I hope to see you soon! Thank you for your time, and if you have any
questions, let me no in a reply. Have a good one.

Kind regards,
Alisha Geary

My blindness is not a disability, but it is a part of who I a, and that
will never change, as life is what you make it to be!

Our lists are generally sponsored by divisions or committees or the 
like. I hate doing a free-standing list, they usually don't succeed.

Hi all,

Pacific. We have some incredible speakers, including Bryan Bashin, a
longstanding Federation leader. And of course we have fun games and
door prizes as well. Bring yourself and your friends--we look forward
to seeing you there!

Date: Saturday, August 28th, 2021
Time: 10:00 Pacific

See you there!

Best,
Cricket

Hello Danielle,
I have used SPSS but I only used Dimensions for the data gathering
part. I have no idea what the accessibility is like for the analysis
side of things. I use Jaws and it reads very well.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.

About BUILD

The Blind Users Innovating and Leading Design (BUILD) program<https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=22281&amp;qid=> is a National Federation of the Blind database of blind users to test and evaluate the accessibility of products and services. Some of these projects offer compensation, premiums like gift cards, or product discounts. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Thank you for your commitment.

Hello Maurice and all,
I am currently not a student but I am in the process of applying to graduate school. My bachelors degree was in holistic premed. As blind  professionals in the medical field, we face  a lot of challenges. However, I believe that we shouldn’t let that stop us from pursuing a profession practicing medicine and making a difference in peoples lives. I’ve been wanting to start a support group or committee in the NFB for medical students/professionals for quite a while. How can I start this process? If I would go about starting a group such as this, is there anyone interested in joining? Please also feel free to email me off list.
Lasadullina at learningally.org
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Lily

In so doing, I regularly work with transition youth, blindness professionals, and others from whom I often field inquiries from VR counselors but also students interested in working in the medical profession. I am aware that there are blind and low vision people successfully working and studying in this area. I'd like to mine your creative brains to see whether and how we might assemble some sort of group or resource where inquiries such as these could be referred. If it were a website, for example, perhaps there could be articles and contact information to those willing to discuss or provide helpful tips, something along the lines of a FAQ. I suspect there may even be members of this list working in this area of study. Wouldn't it be great to also have a centralized space where you could share information, challenges, and concerns?

Subject: [NABS-L] Falling Into a New Season with NABS -- August NABS Notes
 are Live!
Message-ID: <CANGwUJMcBg8kLGi7cdiwcx-BWQvMNT-sGbaTUex0N611G2RkKw@mail.gmail.com>

Happy Tuesday, NABSters!



It’s hard to believe that fall is just around the corner, but September 21st
is closer than you think!



Before the leaves start to change and the air begins to cool, we invite you
to read through the August edition of NABS Notes, both attached and linked
below for your convenience.



https://nabslink.org/article/nabs-notes-august-2021



There’s no better time than the changing of season to get involved with
something new—perhaps a new student initiative or program. *Nudge Nudge!**



As always, we invite you to reach out to anyone in NABS leadership with
questions on how to get further involved.



Warmly,

Elizabeth
