[Nebraska-students] Anna update

[Kelly Coleman]

 Here is the latest update on Anna. She was reading at 54 words the last time we met which was last Wednesday. After reading 20 pages every night she is now up to 65 words per minute as of today. She is also at 11 words a minute on the slate and stylus and continues to practice. I asked her to write me a paragraph every night about her day on the slate to increase her accuracy. It increased dramatically since I saw her last. We are meeting tomorrow to work on reading aloud and so she can show me her paragraphs. She forgot them today. I had her write several lines for me to show how her accuracy has grown.

Submissions
Dear Mr. Jervis,

I am writing on behalf of Exceptions, a new art and literary journal for 
students with visual disabilities, which is currently accepting submissions for 
its inaugural issue.

Exceptions provides an exciting platform for university students (and recent 
alumni) with visual disabilities to publish creative work that showcases their 
unique perspectives. Through a print journal dual-published in Braille and an 
accessible multimedia website, Exceptions aims to make the artistic work of 
students with visual disabilities available to a diverse audience, providing a 
forum for creative exchange. Our publication highlights a variety of art forms, 
including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and other media (music, film, visual and 
tactile arts, etc.).

While we are housed at Michigan State University, we are keenly aware that 
optimal success for this endeavor will require a broad-based initiative. Michael 
Hudson, Director of the MSU Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities, has 
encouraged connection with other Directors of similar services. He is working 
closely with the journal and the editorial board and joins me in encouraging 
your promotion of this opportunity to your students and alumni. We would 
appreciate your circulation of the attached Call for Submissions among your 
students and encourage them to contribute to the journal, either by submitting 
creative work or by writing a guest post for our blog. We are accepting 
submissions on a rolling basis from July 1st to October 1st, 2013.

If you or your students have any questions, please feel free to contact me or 
the journal at exceptionsjournal at gmail.com<mailto:exceptionsjournal at gmail.com> 
or visit our website,www.exceptionsjournal.com<http://www.exceptionsjournal.com/>.

Thank you for your time. We look forward to hearing from you and your students.

Best Regards,

Craig Pearson
Editor-in-Chief
