The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

> Hey, guys!  I got sunburned really bad a couple of days ago, and I'm still
> in a bunch of pain. But I wanted to be sure that anyone who already is or is
> considering becoming a member of Outside Agents to know about a Special
> Needs group that was created by Chad on the community forum.  He was kind
> enough to ask me to be a moderator, and I'm gonna do my best! <Smile>  Chad
> wanted to create a place for agents who have disabilities to be able to
> discuss their ideas and concerns, and create a place for all agents to get
> info regarding accessible travel for their clients.

> We can talk about ideas for making the website more accessible. A few weeks
> ago, Chad began posting training videos on YouTube, in part because the
> Flash player on the Outside Agents website wasn't at all accessible with a
> screen reader.  It's also a great place where we can share work-arounds and
> little tricks for getting that keyboard to let us access things like booking
> engines, forms, etc., even when it doesn't want to! <Smile>  Not to mention
> the fact that we can help agents to know about accommodations that their
> clients with disabilities do and do not need! <Smile>
> 
> 
> 
> That's about all the pain meds will let me say about it for now, except to
> give those of you who are members of Outside Agents the link to the forum:
> 
> http://agents.outsideagents.com/group/special-needs-club

> I think this can be both informative and a lot of fun!  Be blessed! J
