Early Childhood Conference
May 8-9, 2009
The NFB Jernigan Institute is holding an innovative Beginnings and
Blueprints Early Childhood Conference in collaboration with the
National Organization of Parents of Blind Children and various
resources in the field of early childhood from across the
mid-Atlantic region. This two-day conference will bring together
families of blind children ages birth to seven, early childhood
providers, teachers, and professionals in order to disseminate the
NFB's approach to best practices in early childhood education for
blind children.
Families of blind and low vision children ages birth to seven who
live in the Mid-Atlantic region are encouraged to attend. Families
who live outside of the mid-Atlantic region are also welcome to
attend if they so desire, but should be aware that some of the
exhibits and information will be region-specific. Various
organizations and programs within this area will be present for
consultation and to provide presentations to families on what
resources are available in their state children are encouraged to
attend with their parents as there will be activities for young blind
children in mind.
Please complete the online registration form or print the
registration form (Word) and submit this by April 15, 2009. This can
be found at
