[NFBV-Blind-Parents] Panicking on how to navigate county going virtual? First time homeschooler? This zoom is for you!

[Jessica Reed]

County going virtual and freaking out? First time homeschooler?  These are crazy times we find ourselves in. By now, you have either decided to homeschool your child, or you are trying to navigate a virtual platform with your child chosen by your child’s school. You may be trying to use a combination of both. Join the Virginia blind parents as we navigate these new waters together. This meeting is designed to give you a chance to ask any questions you may have and meet others who are going through similar situations.

The first half of the meeting will be designated for helping address any issues or concerns related to virtual schooling and the platforms being used by different school districts. Mike Fish, the lead technology instructor for the Virginia Rehabilitation Center for the Blind and Vision Impaired, will talk you through different platforms and answer questions and concerns in regards to accessibility. He will also assist you in ways to obtain your child’s materials using these virtual platforms. 

The second half of the meeting will be used to address tips and tricks for homeschooling as a blind parent. C. J. Fish, a blind homeschool mom of four children, will be sharing her experiences and answering any questions you may have.

When- August 23, 8pm Eastern
