> Not sure about how your blind child is going to tackle classes such as

> specialization blind individuals have had in the past? Do you believe
> that careers and learning about fields such as Science, Technology,
> Engineering and Math- (STEM), are “too difficult” or “dangerous” for
> your blind child? Do alternative techniques a blind person may use in
> such fields just baffle you?
> 
> 
> If any of the above apply to you-
> 
> Please attend the Membership phone call, presented by the Membership
> Committee of the National Association of Blind Students. We are going
> to cover concerns, techniques, and general information about how blind
> students can participate on equal terms with their sighted peers,
> especially in STEM fields.
