[nobe-l] Quietly I introduce myself

[Marianne]

Antonio

I have had many jobs over the years.  After my children left home I went 
back to college online and obtained my certificate as a teacher of children 
who are visually impaired.  This is my first year as a teacher.  I work with 
three totally blind students.  One student is in a college prep program and 
plans to study to become a music therapist when she begins college.  The 
other students have additional disabilities so are in special education 
classes.  My job is to provide training related to their visual impairments 
and to support their classroom teachers.  I find many teachers are 
intimidated by visually impaired students in the classroom.
