Mississippi State University's Rehabilitation Research and Training
Center on Blindness & Low Vision has released two new web resources.
"From School to College: A Transition Activity Calendar for Students who
are Blind or Visually Impaired, Second Edition: 2011" is a web-based
calendar of transition activities that help students in middle school to
begin outlining the steps necessary to reach and thrive in college.
Through the monthly suggested activities, students learn when to apply
for college, take entrance exams, and visit campuses as well as how to
acquire accessible textbooks, explore careers, obtain assistive
technology, etc. The calendar also includes links to vital resources.
This resource is available at www.blind.msstate.edu/transition.

self-paced module includes instructional materials and activities to
guide job seekers through the step-by-step process of preparing for and
finding employment. This free online resource can be accessed at
