[Nfbofsc] Bell X

[Steve & Shannon Cook]

Attention! Attention! 

To those who are interested in attending NFB BELL-X at the NFBSC State
Convention on Friday, October 28th

We invite all individuals who are interested in participating in NFB BELL-X
to obtain a free NFB white cane and a free slate and stylus from the
national website. We will have a limited supply of NFB white canes and
slates available for loan during the duration of the session, however, we
strongly encourage everyone interested to order a white cane and a slate for
yourself from the NFB national office at no cost to you that will be yours
to keep to bring with you. While other types of white canes are available,
an NFB white cane is the best tool for learning through the structured
discovery method, which differs from that of more traditional methods that
are commonly used. A pair of sleep shades (blindfold) is also highly
recommended to get the most out of the experience. These can be purchased at
many stores or from NFB Independence Market. Also note that while we hope to
get participation from parents and children, the session is open to the
general membership. If you're wanting to know more about white cane travel,
Braille, the NFB BELL Academy, its teaching philosophies, or if you could
serve future programs in some way, please make plans to attend! Here are
direct links to online forms at the national web site at www.nfb.org
<http://www.nfb.org/> . If you need to print out and send in a hard copy
form, there is a separate web link on these pages for this. If you are
sighted and wishing to obtain a white cane to use as a "teaching" cane (a
cane used by a sighted person to learn about nonvisual travel), write this
in the box labeled for comments.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day, we raise
expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want.
Blindness is not what holds you back.
