National Federation of the Blind Beginnings and Blueprints Early
Childhood Conference May 8-9, 2009

The NFB Jernigan Institute is holding an innovative Beginnings and
Blueprints Early Childhood Conference in collaboration with the National
Organization of Parents of Blind Children and various resources in the
field of early childhood from across the mid-Atlantic region.  This
two-day conference will bring together families of blind children ages
birth to seven, early childhood providers, teachers, and professionals
in order to disseminate the NFB's approach to best practices in early
childhood education for blind children.

Families of blind and low vision children ages birth to seven are
encouraged to attend.  Various organizations and programs will be
present for consultation and to provide presentations to families on
what resources are available to them.  Children are encouraged to attend
with their parents as there will be activities for young blind children
in mind.
