[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT moms with disabilities

[Becky Frankeberger]

Hi, all,

 

My name is Angela Frederick. I am a sociology professor at Rhodes 

College in Memphis, Tennessee. I’m also a blind mother.

 

I’m currently conducting research on the experiences of mothers with 

disabilities. As part of this project I will be holding five small 

group discussions with blind mothers at national convention in Orlando.

 

The small group discussions will last from 1 and ½ to 2 hours, and I’m 

hoping to have 6 or 7 moms in each group.

 

If you are a mother who is blind and who is currently caring for at 

least one child under the age of eighteen, you are eligible to 

participate.

 

Here are the times:

 

Monday, July 1 (Seminar Day): 10:00 a.m. and another at 3:00 p.m.

Tuesday, July 2 (Registration and Resolutions

Day): 1:00 p.m. and another at 3:00 p.m.

Thursday, July 4: 7:00 p.m.

 

If you’d like to participate in one of these discussions, please e-mail 

me at Fredericka at Rhodes dot edu and let me know which session you’d 

like to attend.

 

Please feel free to forward this announcement to other blind mothers 

you think might be interested.

 

Thanks so much, and I look forward to seeing you at convention.

 

Best wishes,

Angela Frederick
