[Nfbf-l] Convention stream/deaf/Spanish/under served

[Denise Valkema]

FYI to help with convention.

• Our media partner for the 2013 convention of the National Federation of the Blind is Insight Radio, the radio station of the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) of the United Kingdom. Insight Radio will stream the Board meeting, general sessions, and banquet of the convention and produce other convention-related features, interviews and Podcasts throughout the week.
SERVICES FOR SPANISH SPEAKING INDIVIDUALS OR THE DEAF-BLIND
The entire convention is translated by volunteers for attendees who speak Spanish. Small receivers can be borrowed to listen to the audio transmission.

Small receivers are also available for the hearing impaired to receive direct transmissions from the public address system. For those who may be totally deaf and use the Teletouch machine for interpreting, volunteers are present to translate the convention.
