Helen Keller used her celebrity and wit to champion rights for women, people with disabilities and people living in poverty. Here is the link to documentary, <a href="https://www.pbs.org/video/becoming-helen-keller-n2dycw/?source=social" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 130, 114);" class="">https://www.pbs.org/video/becoming-helen-keller-n2dycw/?source=social</span></a>. The documentary shed light on her successes, included DeafBlind individuals to share their perspectives, and provided full access by including interpreters. The film is an hour and a half long.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">I have attached documents in PDF about HKNC programs, my fact sheet that expands upon my role as a regional representative, as well as iCanConnect contacts in the south central region. I did not mention about our HKNC registry but I wanted to pass along with you to share with others the importance of the HKNC registry which is available at this link, <a href="https://www.helenkeller.org/hknc/national-registry" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" class="">https://www.helenkeller.org/hknc/national-registry</a>. It helps to have individuals who have combined vision and hearing loss to add themselves to the registry, it is confidential and for data information purposes only for the DeafBlind census. The data helps support any programs and services needed in a particular state. For instance in Texas they are trying to setup a SSP/Co-Navigator service and the HKNC registry or DeafBlind census count was able to help the state identify the number of DeafBlind individuals in the state of Texas.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">Please let me know if I need to send any other information. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
