<DIV>Cost: Free for blind and vision impaired children ages 4 through 12

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This years' theme is "Placing Hands on the Future"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The BELL Academy provides children with the opportunity to learn
some</DIV>
<DIV>Braille and nonvisual concentrated instruction. This learning takes
place</DIV>
<DIV>through participation in fun, hands-on activities, including activities
of</DIV>
<DIV>daily living (ADL) skills, field trips, self-advocacy through "solve
it</DIV>
<DIV>problems", science experiments, mobility walks, as well as numerous
literacy</DIV>
<DIV>activities (story time, practicing reading and writing in Braille, use
of</DIV>
<DIV>Braille Writers). Woven into the program is the NFB philosophy
professing</DIV>
<DIV>that blind children can do anything sighted children can do through the
use</DIV>
<DIV>of alternative techniques. This year we will provide the children the
chance</DIV>
<DIV>to imagine, create, and touch their future and dreams; by not only
raising</DIV>
<DIV>expectations through Braille instruction, but by nurturing their
development</DIV>
<DIV>of tactile arts and graphics.</DIV>
