Hi Denise -
I am from Seedlings Braille Books for Children in Livonia, Michigan.
We produce low-cost, high-quality braille books for children ages 0-14.
We would be happy to ship you catalogs which highlight our 1,100 braille titles 
offered. Please let me know if this is something you'd find beneficial for the 
attendees of your April conference. Please see our website if you want more 
information on Seedlings. (link below in blue.)

Thank you.

OOPS! Thank you Janet Kurz.  I had the wrong dates on the announcement.  Please 
forgive me.  Here is a corrected version. 


NATURE OF INDEPENDENCE
Independent Travel and the Blind Child
2012 PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE
April 13 and 14, 2012
Washington State School for the Blind
 

Our independence comes from within. A slave can have keen eyesight, excellent 
mobility, and superb reading skills—and still be a slave. We are achieving 
freedom and independence in the only way that really counts—in rising 
self-respect, growing self-confidence, and the will and the ability to make 
choices. Above all, independence means choices, and the power to make those 
choices stick.
