We are conducting a federally funded national study which includes surveying and interviewing parents of young children (under age 6) to learn more about current parenting strategies and resources used or needed by parents with physical and visual disabilities. I am inviting and enthusiastically encouraging my fellow blind and visually impaired parents to participate in our study. Input from blind parents across the country will help our organization to develop and teach people about resources and educational materials for parents and caregivers, occupational therapists and other professionals and service providers. </span></span><span style='color:#242424'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='background:white'><span class=xxxxxxxcontentpasted0><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white'>Please help us spread the word about this important study!
