[Ohio-talk] BELL Flyer

[Eric Duffy]

I have attached as well as pasted in this message the flyer for the BELL
Program. Please do what you can to help us spread the word and recruit
students. Get it in to the hands of anyone you can. Get it in to as many
inboxes as you can. Get it to libraries, on bulletin boards, wherever you
can. We don't know exactly who others know. Someone in Cleveland,
Cincinnati, or even Athens might know of a child who can benefit from this
program.  





NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND OF OHIO

BRAILLE ENRICHMENT FOR     
                  LITERACY AND LEARNING
(BELL) SUMMER PROGRAM

		



This program is sponsored by the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan
Institute, in partnership with the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio
and the  NFB of Ohio Parents of Blind Children Division.

Are you the parent, guardian, or teacher of a low-vision child who would
benefit from learning Braille?  We have a wonderful opportunity for these
students this summer!
The BELL summer program is a two-week day program (weekends not included)
designed to offer prekindergarten and elementary age low-vision beginning
Braille readers immersion in Braille and fun, increasing their use of
tactile skills for reading. Children will receive Braille instruction daily
as well as learn alternative nonvisual techniques through arts and crafts,
games, field trips, and other fun. 
A parent seminar will offer parents practical strategies to incorporate
nonvisual learning and Braille into their children's daily life.  
This program will be led by a certified teacher of the blind who will be
assisted by positive blind role models and local volunteers.  

Program Dates:  	July 15-26, 2013 (week days only)
Time:  			9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Location: 			470 Glenmont Avenue in Columbus
