>>>>>Greetings All,
>>>>>
>>>>>Thinking about summer plans for your students? The Louisiana Center for
>>>>>the
>>>>>Blind would like to remind all interested parties that the deadline for
>>>>>applications to our two summer programs for blind youth is rapidly
>>>>>approaching.
>>>>>
>>>>>The Center's Buddy Program is a three-week residential program for
>>>>>students
>>>>>in grades 4-8 which focuses primarily on intensive instruction in 
>>>>>skills
>>>>>of
>>>>>blindness (i.e., Braille, assistive technology, cane travel, and living
>>>>>skills) while also giving students plenty of opportunities for
>>>>>socialization
>>>>>and the enjoyment of recreational activities. The dates for Buddy 
>>>>>Program
>>>>>2010 are July 18-August 7.
>>>>>
>>>>>The STEP (Summer Training and Employment Project) Program is designed 
>>>>>for
>>>>>students who are entering either the 10th, 11th, or 12th grades in the
>>>>>fall
>>>>>of 2010. Like the Buddy Program, the STEP Program is staffed by highly
>>>>>skilled blind role models and focuses primarily on skills of blindness
>>>>>instruction. STEP Program students will also attend the NFB National
>>>>>Convention in Dallas. During the second phase of the program, to take
>>>>>place
>>>>>after students return from the post-convention break, students continue
>>>>>to
>>>>>receive skills of blindness training, but are also provided with a work
>>>>>experience at a business in or near the city of Ruston, Louisiana. 
>>>>>Thus,
>>>>>students are given necessary foundational skills for life-long success,
>>>>>coupled with real-world workplace involvement to further enhance their
>>>>>skill
>>>>>sets and abilities to interact in a variety of social and professional
>>>>>contexts.
>>>>>
>>>>>The dates for STEP 2010 are June 13-August 7, with approximately a week
>>>>>off
>>>>>following the conclusion of National Convention July 8.
>>>>>
>>>>>For more details or for application information (one may apply
>>>>>electronically) on either the Buddy or STEP Programs, please visit our
>>>>>website at www.lcb-ruston.com and point to Programs and Services. 
>>>>>Please
>>>>>also feel free to contact me with any questions or for additional
>>>>>details.
