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.
