<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>A seminar for parents,
classroom teachers, teachers of the visually impaired, students and others
interested in the education of children who are blind or visually impaired. The
purpose of this seminar is to provide information to those in daily contact
with blind or visually impaired children, identify available resources and
equipment to serve them and help parents and teachers understand that their
children can live independently and achieve academic and vocational
success. The seminar will provide both basic concepts and information for
those experiencing vision loss and for those parents, classroom teachers and
professionals who are directly involved in the education of students who are
blind/visually impaired. In addition, more advanced information will be
provided for individuals who are already familiar with this field. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the seminar and hotel rooms will be provided free of charge on a first-come,

rules do require that participants live more than fifty miles from the site of
the event for a participant to be eligible for lodging. Please consider
sharing a room with other participants whenever possible to allow us to

count of those who will be attending and participating in meals. Please
fill out the registration form at the bottom of this flyer and return as early
as possible to allow us to predict the number attending. We must receive
