Deborah Kendrick has recently written a book that many of us should read. It is
one of the free downloadable books from National Braille Press— <I>Navigating
the Healthcare system, When All They Can See Is That You Can't</I>. We will
discuss this common situation that so many of us have found ourselves
in.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Here is more about our special guest: Deborah Kendrick
is an award-winning writer, editor, and poet. In 1986, she launched a
weekly column, ‘Alive and Well,” in the Cincinnati Enquirer, the first of its
kind to focus on disability rights. The column ran for 30 years in a variety of
newspapers including syndication by King Features, enjoying its longest run in
the Columbus Dispatch. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>In 1985, she created TACTIC, a quarterly magazine covering
access technology, which enjoyed international readership. She served as editor
until 2000, when TACTIC was subsumed by the American Foundation for the Blind to
launch AccessWorld, where she continues as senior features editor. Her work has
appeared in dozens of national and regional publications, including <I>Woman’s
</I>Day, <I>Marriage and </I>Family, Parenting, St. Anthony Messenger, Executive
Lifestyles, <I>Ohio </I>Magazine, <I>Independence Today </I>News, Dialogue,
<I>Careers and the </I>Disabled, and many others. Her work has been honored by
the Society for Professional Journalists, the Ohio Arts Council, the Society for
Technical Communications, the Association of Women Communicators, and others.
Her most treasured awards include the Maurice McCracken Peace and Justice Award,
the AFB Access Award, the Inclusion Network Lifetime Achievement Award, and the
EDI (Equality Dignity Independence) Award from the National Easter Seal
Society. She has served on numerous nonprofit boards and
governor-appointed councils, most recently Guide Dogs for the Blind and the
Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired. In 2019, her book
Navigating Health Care when all they Can See is that you Can’t, was published by
National Braille Press. Her newest book, <I>When Your Ears Can’t Help You See,
is in production, release date pending. She is past president of the Cincinnati
NFB chapter, has been secretary and board member of the Ohio affiliate, and
involved with the Blind Journalists group. She will talk to the Senior Division
about the road to writing and publishing Navigating Health Care, as well as
providing some useful information from the book itself. She loves discussions of
writing and editing and will spend as much time answering questions as needed.
