AFB CareerConnectR presented two free online seminars for professionals
working with children and adults with visual impairments in April 2009.
Each session is now available through audio streaming to your computer or

Both seminars will be rebroadcast later this summer. We will alert you to

Session 1: Lifelong Learning in Career Education
Dr. Karen Wolffe, Director, Professional Development and CareerConnect,
discusses the career education model, how to help move children and adults
through the appropriate stages of the model, and provides activities and
resources available to instruct children and adults with visual
impairments in career education, and more.

Session 2: Determining Current and Future AT Needs
Ike Presley, Project Manager, Professional Development, shows attendees
how to create a "toolbox" for success by presenting the tools needed to
access and create printed and electronic information. He is then joined by
professionals with visual disabilities discussing their career planning
techniques as well as the assistive technologies that have helped them
compete in the workplace and advance their careers.
