Frustration and Anger are normal feelings, but what we do when we have

to recognize those feelings when they appear in their body and discuss
healthy and appropriate ways to deal with them. Learners will be engaged in
light informal discussions and lecture style teaching and we will be
supported to come up with a Frustration Plan that they can implement next
time they are angry or frustrated, plans will include redirection
strategies, mantras and quick scripts that they can practice so they won't
be overtaken with emotion.

Academy Audience:  High school and post-high school students
*SESSION TITLES*:
April 27: College Prep – How to Make a Good Match
May 11: College Prep – How to Determine if You’re REALLY Ready
May 25: College Prep – How Do I Chose a Major and Other Important Questions
When you’re asked the question, what do you want to do after high school,
it might be easy to say, “I’m going to go to college.”  But just what IS
college in 2022?  And how can you make sure you have the knowledge and
skills to really prepare for the changes that college-and life after high
school, will ask of you. We will explore this and more in this three
session Excel Academy series.
Attending college and entering the workforce with vision loss requires that
you work now, to be the advocate and student that colleges assume you’re
going to be. There are many ways to think about your post high school
education to help you meet your goals.  This series will help you
understand how to search for a college (they are not all the same!),
consider the skills (academic and blindness skills) you need to meet the
demands, and to explore the pros and cons of college, including other ways
to prepare for your life after high school, and entering the workforce.
Topics will include college search, financial aid, choosing a major, the
change in support from high school to college and work, The key to all of
it?  Your own knowledge, skills, and determination to do hard things.

*Origami, Making Folding Fun   April 23, 2022, 12:00 – 1:30 PM EST*
Have you ever encountered those intricate paper creations that someone
folded into tiny swans, boats, or even flowers? Have you ever thought, “how
can folding paper be fun?” Origami, or traditional Japanese paper folding
is an art that’s typically taught through visual images. Over the last few
years, a group of friends have worked together to make origami accessible
to blind and low-vision people through written instructions. So pull out
some pieces of paper and join Lisamaria Martinez for a 90 minute fun and
informative exploration of origami, and unlock your inner artist! This
workshop is recommended for teens and adults.
Materials Recommended: 3 to 5 pieces of printer paper; origami paper is
great, but not necessary
