[Nfbmd] Youth Services

[Amy Phelps]

Good morning fellow federationist!!!!! As most of you know I am now over
the youth programs at Blind Industries and Services of Maryland. As
such, I am wanting to get to know all of the service providers to youth
from birth to 18 and I know that as federationist, we are on the pulse
of what is needed for blind youth in our state. If you have the names
and contact information for any teachers or others who are active in
working with blind youth, please send me their name, phone number, email
address and whether or not I can use you as a reference. Now that the
holidays are over, I want to begin reaching out to as many contacts as
possible. 

 

Some of our plans for 2011 include, Independence 2011--our summer
programs, return of the transition club, as well as some quarterly
retreats. I am not sure of the details of these activities, other than
Independence 2011. If there are any events that you feel I need to know
about as related to blind youth please keep me posted. Thanks in advance
for your help! 

 

Warm regards, 

 

Amy C. Phelps
