Hello Fellow Federationists,<br>
As many of you know, the National Federation of the Blind has a new Blind
Parent Initiative. This initiative includes a website<br>
<a href="http://www.blindparents.org">http://www.blindparents.org</a><br>
On this website, we want to include videos of blind parents explaining
(and possibly demonstrating) how they complete different parenting tasks
such as changing diapers, transporting babies in strollers or carriers,
keeping track of toddlers when traveling, dispensing proper amounts of
medication, helping older children with homework, feeding infants,
helping young children learn letters, numbers, colors, and so much
more.<br>
These videos need to be short, but informative. It is helpful if you have
a child with you in order to demonstrate a skill along with your verbal
explanation, but this is not absolutely necessary.<br>
This year, we are hoping to capture some of these videos at our national
convention. Below are the days and times Stephanie Eller, from our NFB
staff, will be available to film. The location is the Panzacola
registration desk. The times are <br>
Saturday, July 2, 9:00 – 11:00 a.m.<br>
Saturday, July 2, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.<br>
Sunday, July 3, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.<br>
If you are interested in filming a video, please contact<br>
<a href="mailto:parenting@nfb.org">parenting@nfb.org</a><br>
with the day and time most convenient for you to film. Please include the
topic you plan to discuss, and whether you will have a child or special
equipment with you for use in your video.<br>
<br>
Can't attend the convention this year, but have a video to share? No
problem! Please feel free to record a short video and email it to<br>
<a href="mailto:parenting@nfb.org">parenting@nfb.org</a><br>
We also hope to capture additional videos at state conventions and other
events throughout the year, so please stay tuned for more ways you can
help!<br>
We look forward to seeing you in Orlando and getting some fantastic video
footage. We appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate in a very real
way the techniques blind parents use to live the lives we want with our
children.<br>
