I'm starting treatments for platelets on Wednesday. I feel pretty good
although my sister says I look very pale. I feel pretty good but wish I
could get out. Since my white cells are low I have to stay away from large
crowds. I hope these treatments will raise my platelets. Thanks for
asking.
Joyce

> Recently I had the benefit of attending and exhibiting at the National
> Federation for the Blind's National Convention in Dallas from June 30
> through July 4. I enjoyed spreading the word about the life skills
> and career training options that we offer at World Services for the
> Blind to the parents, potential clients, Lions Club members,
> instructors, and representatives from colleges and technology firms
> that I met with. The overwhelming response about WSB I kept hearing was
"keep up the good work,"
> and I was invigorated to learn that our name is recognized throughout
> the blind and visually impaired community for the level of service
> that we are able to provide to our clients. It was also wonderful to
> hear from the visitors to our booth that their relatives or friends,
> or in some instances they themselves, received training from WSB and
> had a pleasant and rewarding experience that led to successful employment
and sustainable independence.
>
>
>
> As I was visiting some of the other booths, I was impressed by the
> amount of vendors that that were providing products that made
> computers and other technology devices more accessible to the blind and
visually impaired.
> There was a wide variety of new and improved products for
> magnification, speech output and GPS systems, all of which will make
> day to day life more accessible for individuals with a visual impairment.
>
>
>
>
> Persons who are interested in learning more about working with
> computers or assisting others to use computer technology would benefit
> from some of our technology-based career training programs such as our
> Desktop Support Technician, IT Professional, Assistive Technology
Instructor or Programming.
> It is not too late to enroll for our Desktop Support Technician or IT
> Professional training programs. We will begin the evaluation process
> for those programs on August 6, and the programs start on September 4.

> Graduates from DST will acquire certifications in A+, Network+ and

organization.

>
> Please contact me so that I can assist your clients in joining us for
