[nfbmi-talk] Braille is Important!

[Amy Shepherd]

Michigan Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (MPVI)  is a parent organization for families in the state of Michigan with children who are blind or visually impaired.  Our goal is to help families raise their blind and visually impaired children to be successful, fulfilled, productive adults.  We support our families in three ways:  by providing networking opportunities, educational and recreational activities, and advocacy.  Check out our website at www.mpvi.org 

We are an affiliate of the National Association of Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (NAPVI)  www.spedex.com/napvi/

Sincerely, 

Amy Shepehrd
