Please pass it on to eligible students, counselors, teachers, parents, college disability offices, libraries for the blind, your group’s listserv, offices for assessing equipment for the blind or visually impaired, radio reading services, the state announcement section of NFB-NEWSLINE®, and any other outlet you think of that will help blind students discover this program.
