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?subject=Convention%20request%20for%20specific%20accomodations>
jerniganinstitute at nfb.org.

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)
