VISAbilities for All – Low Vision Services for Special Ed Students

A few weeks ago, Mark Richert, one of ACB’s most experienced and leading advocates, added to our Leadership list a very interesting post entitled “The future of low vision services and devices in BVI-related special ed.” The post received several responses.  Mark will join me Friday night to hear from you and to further explain what is and is not available through prior legislation such as IDEA and how he believes the passage of the Cogswell-Macy Act would provide more well-rounded services to children with low vision during their most formative years.  Everyone seems to have an opinion.  We would like to hear yours.  So join us at 7:00 PM EST for what I believe will be a lively interactive conversation.

Please join me when I welcome our panel of long-time advocates including Scott Marshall and Paul Edwards. for a discussion of a subject we have all experienced

over these last few years – Medical Accessibility.  Regardless of age or health issues, the world of medical care has changed for us all in recent years. It is time to update the ADA Medical Checklist Scott developed many years ago.  What can we as ACB members and advocates do to see that medical professionals and IT developers receive appropriate training? Since this impacts every member of our organization and beyond, how high a priority should it have on our agenda? What has worked for you and your loved ones?  Are there some portals that are more accessible than others?  Bring your solutions to the table so we can all learn from one another
