[PIBE-Division] Free Seminar on Multiple Intelligence Theory and Blind Learners

[Heather Bird]

 Join us for a free seminar on meeting the needs of diverse blind and low
vision learners. We will explore different opportunities for teaching blind
and low vision children, teens, or adults.  We will accomplish this by
employing a variety of methods, using the lens of Howard Gardner‘s multiple
intelligences to explore the topic. This seminar is presented by the New
York State BELL Academy, and is being hosted by the National Federation Of
The Blind of New York State. Inc. We are using the Zoom platform to host
this event, and as this is part of the New York State Virtual Convention.
It is open to anyone who wishes to participate from anywhere around the
world. Please find the direct link to our Zoom room below, and join us on
Tuesday, October 20, from 7:00 PM until 9:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time.

If you wish to check out other offerings of the convention, which includes
a virtual exhibit hall, newsline demonstrations, seminars hosted by the New
York Association of Guide Dog Users, New York Association of Blind
Students, Blind Parents, Blind Seniors, and much much more, you may check
out the agenda or register for the convention at
https://nfbny.org/conventions/details. You do not need to be registered for
the convention to attend this seminar.  It is completely free and open to

This seminar is of particular use to Teachers Of The Visually Impaired,
Orientation & Mobility instructors, Adaptive Tech instructors, Special
Education Teachers, parents and family members of blind children, 1-to-1
