[Nfbmo] TEACH Act

[Shelia Wright]

Thanks for the post Julie. I hope you will share this with our members of
the US Congress as personal experiences are quite helpful to them. I'd also
like to encourage other students to weigh in on the importance of the TEACH
Act. There are some great tools that have been shared this month and so your
posts don't have to be very long.

I list the Legislative Assistants concerning Education issues for our
Missouri Senators and Representatives offices in D.c. here for your
convenience.

Good morning friends,

At the board meeting this weekend, we had a discussion of the TEACH Act.  We
talked about a couple articles that had been circulating related to the
opposition to the bill.  Today I read another one and thought others may be
interested.

I see inaccessible technology every day both as a part of my job and because
I'm a student.  Disability services offices, Adaptive Technology centers
(which many universities do not have), and even the universities themselves
can only do so much.  This is very important!
