>> Hi Vanessa,
>>
>> Students with visual impairments face a unique set of challenges 
>> transitioning to college life, from accessing materials to finding a social 
>> scene. While Student Services offices can be a great help, we wanted to 
>> provide a central source of information and resources for visually impaired 
>> college students, completely free of charge. It's available here: 
>> http://www.onlinecolleges.net/for-students/college-accessibility-visually-impaired-students/
>>
>> Our resource addresses visually impaired students' most common concerns, 
>> including:
>>
>> School resources and legal rights as a student with a disability
>> Scholarships available only to blind and visually impaired students
>> Assistive technologies for students with visual impairments
>> At OnlineColleges.net, we strive to make our site accessible to all 
>> visitors by, among other best practices, creating a clear site structure 
>> and navigation, using differentiated title and text styles and sizes, and 
>> separating stylistic elements from site copy to make the site compatible 
>> with assistive technologies.
>>
>> Please help us reach as many students as possible by sharing a link to our 
>> guide on your site. I suggest this page: http://kycap.ky.gov/links.htm
>>
>> Let me know how you plan to share this resource, or if you have any 
>> questions. We welcome all feedback.
>>
>> Looking forward to hearing from you,
>> Lindsey Miller
