[nfbmi-talk] Request for Break-Out Session Leaders

[Haley Dare]

 Good morning,
MiPOBC is seeking leaders/teachers for several break-out sessions that will occur during state convention this year.  If you, or someone you know, has specific knowledge in any of these areas that may help guide our parents and would like to lead a session, please contact me.  The sessions will probably be 1-1.5 hours and will probably occur on Friday and/or Saturday afternoons.  The specific topic requests are: DIY Adaptation for School Materials; Applying For/Receiving Quota Funds; Resources for Partially Sighted Children and their Parents; Blind Culture Training for Individuals, Parents, Family Members; Mentoring for Specific Conditions; O&M for Parents; Lawyer for Special Education Concerns; Homeschooling Blind Children.
This list was generated by parents on the MiPOBC Facebook page to directly deal with issues that they are currently confused about.  If we can, it is important to address these concerns with training so that they leave state convention feeling more informed and empowered to help their blind/VI children live the lives they want.  You can contact me at 269-372-2594 and/or haley.dare at yahoo.com.  Thank you!
