[NFB-DB] Requests for Interpreters At National Convention 2016

[Janice Toothman]

Hello Everyone,

The Following if VERY IMPORTANT if you are considering attending the 
2016 National Convention in Orlando, FL.

*Requests for Accommodations Based on Disability*

The convention of the National Federation of the Blind is designed and 
implemented to be accessible especially to blind people in that 
materials are offered in

accessible formats and other nonvisual aids are provided (therefore 
special requests for these items are not required). If you require 
specific accommodations based on your disability other

than the blindness-related accommodations mentioned above in order to 
participate fully and equally in the Convention, we urge you to let us 
know as soon as possible.

Specific accommodations for which requests are required include requests 
for deaf or deaf blind interpreters. Due to the size and complexity of 
this convention, as well as the need to

appropriately plan for additional human and other resources, requests 
for specific accommodations must be submitted no later than May 31, 2016.

Please send your specific request for accommodations in writing to the 
NFB Jernigan Institute via email at jerniganinstitute at nfb.org 
<mailto:jerniganinstitute at nfb.org?subject=Convention%20request%20for%20specific%20accomodations>.

Include your name, the dates you plan to be at the convention, 
information on the best way to follow up with you, and your specific 
request.

It is helpful to include the type of accommodation needed (e.g. tactile, 
close, platform, English, ASL, oral, or some combination)
