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-im
paired-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
Director of Outreach
