quecuando desconocidos meagarranen la calle,mireflejo no esla cortesía,
pero he trabajadoduro para darla mismarespuesta a este incidentecada vez que

que la persona

desconsideradoque yo era, me preguntaba, qué es lo que tenemos quehacer
para cambiarla percepción dela persona promedia en estetipo de encuentro.

Message from the President
Dear Friends:
Well over a decade ago, we declared October to be Meet the Blind Month.
This marks an intensive time of programming in our local chapters to get
people to know the truth about blindness and how blind people are living
the lives they want. Despite our tremendous progress there is still work
to be done.
Mark Riccobono and his daughter walking with canes.
The other day I was out walking in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor with two of
my children, aged four and seven. As my cane was about to tap a
pole—indicating to me that it was there so I could move around it—a
person grabbed me from behind with a hand on each shoulder and said
“stop” in a firm voice. I admit that when strangers grab me on the
street my gut reaction is not politeness, but I have worked hard to give
the same response to this incident every time it happens. I replied to
the stranger firmly gripping my shoulders, “Please do not grab me.” The
reaction was immediate and very negative. As the person proceeded down
the street grumbling loudly about how rude and inconsiderate I was, I
wondered what we need to do to change the perception of the average
person in this type of encounter.
Hundreds of our chapters will be out in local communities helping to
change the understanding of blindness by engaging members of the public
in activities led by blind people. The most important activity we
undertake in the National Federation of the Blind is raising the
expectations for blind people and demonstrating that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines us or our future. If you are receiving
this newsletter it is because you already have some experience with the
impact and importance of the Federation. I would invite you to
participate in our local Meet the Blind Month activities by taking the
opportunity to teach someone else about blindness. You might share some
of the videos from our YouTube Channel,
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3894&qid=638756>
stories from our Kernel Book series, or simply share your own
experience. I believe that we can continue to positively change the
public misconceptions about blindness, but it is going to take the
efforts of all of us.
Among our Meet the Blind Month activities, I do not think you will find
any of our chapters going out and grabbing unsuspecting sighted
strangers on the street—though it is fun to imagine what the reaction
would be to such an activity. Of course, I recognize that there are
still too many people who do not know enough about blindness to believe
that blindness is not the characteristic that defines us. Therefore, it
is logical to many that grabbing a blind person to keep them safe is a
respectable thing to do. For that same reason, blind people grabbing
sighted strangers would not be viewed as acceptable.
I hope that in my lifetime we get to a level of understanding where
blind people have the same right to their own personal space as everyone
else. For this year’s Meet the Blind Month, I plan to talk to as many
people as I can about how they might feel if a blind person came and
grabbed them on the street. This is fair warning to the next person that
grabs me on the street—you may get more questions than you expected. The
truth is that the best way for us to create understanding is to create
dialogue. That is the goal of our efforts in October, and in a sense
that is the goal of the National Federation of the Blind—the complete
integration of the blind on terms of equality.
Sincerely,

What's News at the NFB
*KNFB Reader App Now Available*
On September 18, K-NFB Reading Technology, Inc. released the highly
anticipated KNFB Reader
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3844&qid=638756>,
a new app for the iPhone and other Apple iOS devices, which uses the
phone’s camera and state-of-the-art optical character recognition (OCR)
technology to give the blind instant access to the contents of print
materials. KNFB Reader is now available in the iTunes store – visit our
affiliate link below to purchase and download, and encourage others to
purchase through our link – a percentage of proceeds will benefit the
National Federation of the Blind!
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3897&qid=638756>
*October is Meet the Blind Month
*Meet the Blind Month is our nationwide campaign to increase awareness
of, and support for, the National Federation of the Blind. Throughout
October, members of the National Federation of the Blind will
concentrate our efforts on conducting outreach activities that will
create opportunities for members of the general public to meet the blind
of their communities, and to recognize that we are vital contributing
members of society.
Some members will conduct creative Meet the Blind Month projects and
programs. Others will staff blindness information tables at local venues
and events. Still others will simply walk around in populated areas with
brochures, a smile, and a handshake. And in every activity we
participate in this month, our active and vibrant membership will be
proof of our conviction that blind people can live the lives they want;
blindness is not what holds us back.
*Share the Love, Hope, and Determination of the National Federation of
the Blind
*Have you been looking for a tool that properly conveys the many
benefits of joining the National Federation of the Blind? We recently
filmed a powerful and inspirational video
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3845&qid=638756>
in which President Mark Riccobono introduces himself and his family, and
shows how the National Federation of the Blind helps blind people to
live the lives we want. Whether you’re just getting to know the
Federation or want a way to introduce our organization to others, you
will benefit from watching this video and sharing it with your family,
friends, chapter and affiliate members, and members of your community,
especially during Meet the Blind Month. Watch the video now

*Education*
*NFB STEM2U Leadership Academy*
From September 5 to 7, twenty-four blind high school students from
across the country spent the weekend at the NFB Jernigan Institute
strengthening their leadership and mentoring skills in preparation for
the upcoming NFB STEM2U regional programs in Baltimore, Boston, and
Columbus. These high school students, or apprentices, will work in teams
of ten at their respective regional programs to help facilitators ensure
that the twenty elementary school students at each program learn as
much as possible about STEM and about growing up to be a successful
blind person. Over the next several months, the three teams of
apprentices will continue to collaborate and prepare for their work at
the NFB STEM2U regional programs by utilizing various technologies to
stay in touch from their homes across the country. A few tweets from the
apprentices provide a glimpse into the experience from the students’
perspective.

Product and Access Technology Talk
The access technology team has been very busy as we move into the
fall. On September 9, in collaboration with the Maryland Technology
Assistance Program, we held our largest accessibility event to date. The
Web Accessibility Training Day drew more than two hundred attendees, and
hosted speakers from diverse backgrounds including Fortune 500
companies, government, and higher education. Our speakers addressed the
importance and practicality of ensuring that web resources are
accessible to all users, and highlighted both technical and policy
decisions that can increase quality and ease of use of resources on the
web for all users, whether or not they have a traditional
disability. The event was conducted as part of the training initiative
for the newly launched NFB Center of Excellence in Nonvisual Access to
Education, Public Information, and Commerce. The Center of Excellence
serves to share the considerable knowledge that the NFB and its partners
have of web accessibility in order to bring about greater accessibility
in government, education, and business; to promote best practices
nationally; and to build Maryland’s status as leader in the field.
If you were unable to attend this year’s great Web Accessibility
Training Day, we will be releasing speakers’ PowerPoint presentations as
well as audio recordings of the sessions. Keep an eye on www.nfb.org
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3847&qid=638756>
for more details.
While the Web Accessibility Training Day excitement has come to a close,
the access technology team is gearing up for another major educational
event. Train the Trainer, planned for October 15-17, will focus on
assisting access technology trainers, teachers, and others who assist
blind users in choosing and learning new technology to hone their
skills, and stay on top of the current trends in both mainstream and
access technology. With sessions covering everything from notetakers to
cloud productivity suites, it will be an event that trainers will find
invaluable. Although spaces are filling quickly, a few seats are still
available. If you, or a trainer you know, may benefit from the event,
please visit https://nfb.org/training-the-trainers
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3848&qid=638756>
to learn more, and reserve a space before they are all gone.

*From the tenBroek Library*
*Newel Perry Inducted into APH Hall of Fame*
In May of 2014, Dr. Newel Perry (1873-1961) was inducted into the
American Printing House for the Blind’s (APH) Hall of Fame. This high
distinction is awarded to leaders and legends in the blindness field,
and Dr. Perry’s admittance to this elite group has long been overdue.
Fans of the history of the National Federation of the Blind may know him
as the mentor of our founder, Dr. Jacobus tenBroek, but his impact on
the American disability rights movement extends far beyond that.
Among his many accomplishments, Perry was the first blind graduate of
the University of California at Berkeley (1896), earned a doctorate in
mathematics at the University of Munich (1902), and successfully lobbied
the New York state legislature to sign into law the first bill
appropriating reader funds for blind college students (1906). In his
capacity as a teacher at the California School for the Blind
(1912-1947), he tutored the best and brightest students and is credited
with preparing 78 graduates to find work in a variety of fields during a
time period when most blind people were considered unemployable.
Perhaps most importantly, however, Dr. Perry founded the California
Council of the Blind in 1934 and encouraged the young tenBroek to found
the first national organization of the blind in 1940, giving blind
people everywhere the power of collective action to advocate for their
rights. Established to honor his memory in 1955, the NFB bestows the
Newel Perry Award on individuals, sighted or blind, who have
demonstrated courageous leadership and outstanding service in the
blindness field by working in partnership with the National Federation
of the Blind.
For more information on the life and work of Newel Perry, the APH has
published an extensive biography at
http://www.aph.org/hall/bios/perry.html
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3849&qid=638756>.
Also in 1961, tenBroek eulogized his mentor and life-long friend in a
speech called “Newel Perry: Teacher of Youth and Leader of Men,” which
is available at
https://nfb.org/Images/nfb/Publications/speeches/NewellPerryTeacherOfYouthLeaderOfMen.html

Independence Market
The NFB Independence Market
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3851&qid=638756>
is a resource for our members, their family and friends, and the general
public. We distribute our literature, which conveys the powerful message
that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you; you can live
the life you want. Our members use our literature to share our positive
philosophy of blindness with their communities.
October is Meet the Blind Month and many of our chapters around the
country will be conducting various outreach activities to educate their
communities about the abilities of blind people. The following are the
most popular literature items our members use for such projects.
*•What is the National Federation of the Blind?* Brochure
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3852&qid=638756>
This brochure gives some introductory information about the NFB.
*•Do You Know a Blind Person?* Brochure
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3853&qid=638756>
This brochure lists various resources available to people who are
experiencing severe vision loss.
*•Braille Alphabet Cards*
These cards show a tactile and visual representation of the Braille
alphabet, provide a short sample text for reading practice, and give
some information about the NFB.
*/•Kernel Books
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3854&qid=638756>/*
These little paperback books contain stories written by our members, in
which they share their everyday experiences with blindness.
Of course the fall is also the season for ordering new calendars for the
coming year. The Independence Market distributes the American Action
Fund Braille Calendars
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3855&qid=638756>,
which are available free of charge. We also sell several large-print
calendars. The 2015 Spiral Bound Appointment Calendar
<http://nfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=3856&qid=638756>
is now available for ordering. We hope to have the 2015 large-print
planners and wall calendars available later in October.

*Advocacy*
*Securing Accessible Practice Exams*
In order to compete in high-stakes testing on an equal footing with
sighted peers, it is critical that blind individuals have full access to
practice exams, in addition to necessary test-day accommodations. Too
often, practice exams that are compatible with screen access software
are difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. Rather than studying,
blind test takers may be forced to spend months advocating for
accessible practice tests. The problem is compounded by the fact that
sometimes practice exams are sold by the testing entity itself, and
other times are sold by separate publishing companies. Practice exams in
question include those needed to prepare for professional licensure
tests, admission to graduate school, advanced educational placement
tests, and others.
The NFB is committed to advocating for accessible practice exams for
blind individuals. To do this, we need your help. If you have
experienced difficulty obtaining an accessible practice exam, please
contact Valerie Yingling at (410) 659-9314, extension 2440, with the
following information:
1. Name of practice exam and high-stakes test with which it coordinates
2. Publisher of the practice exam
3. Format sought (electronic screen-reader-compatible format, Braille,
or other)
4. Date requested
5. Outcome of request

Citation
Although the belief system of the past may hold that there is nothing
essential to learn about what blindness is or how to deal with it, this
time-worn understanding of the capacity of the blind is no longer
uncontested. We human beings ordinarily observe only that which we
already know, and we learn only when 90 percent of what is presented is
familiar. But this is not all. Learning cannot occur unless there is a
teacher with the wisdom and the capacity to dream of the other 10
percent. Those in the school systems, in the governmental and private
agencies for the blind, and in the public at large can work with us to
accelerate the achievement of independence for the blind, and
increasingly this is precisely what has been occurring. But they cannot
provide the inspiration and the dream—that must come from us. We will
learn what we must, imagine a time when we have eradicated the
misconceptions about the blind, provide an alternative explanation which
is more complete than the misguided theories of the long ago, and teach
the public about our basic normality. This is our goal, our mission, and
our right.
