Hi guys!? We're still finalizing a few more presenters for our SOMA O&M conference in Huntsville, Alabama and will send out a media blast when it's ready but meanwhile, I couldn't resist telling you that we've followed up on the request from Jenna and others for information about O&M for adults with CVI, and invited Nicola McDowell and Michexa Jean-Paul to come and share on this topic!??

?

to take a look at the program we've got so far. - 40 presentations for 21 hours of ACVREP-approved programing, plus field trips to Space Camp and the home of Helen Keller.? Watch for our formal announcement in the next few days -- enjoy!

Good afternoon,

?

My name is Jenna Rydl, and I am a newly hired COMS with HKNC working in the New England area. I recently came across an interesting situation and am seeking some guidance.?

?

I have an Adult DeafBlind consumer with very little medical history (most recent eye exam that we know of is from 10 years ago and simply states a diagnosis of RP) but is also presenting what we believe are CVI characteristics. Do you have any resources that take into account the CVI characteristics as well as DeafBlindness? Or perhaps a contact who has experience working with an Adult who is DeafBlind and quite possibly CVI??

?

So far, my research has turned up lots of information for students in the k12 setting with a few Adult DB+ resources. Christine Telford, my supervisor, suggested that I contact you for help finding more information regarding this multi-faceted situation.

?

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance you can?provide!?

?

Gratefully,

Hi guys!? Someone asked me how much the conference would cost and now I can't find their message to respond, so I'm sharing this with everyone --

?

Registration and hotel information for this amazing O&M conference are on the home page at .

?

Meanwhile we just added two more sessions, though we haven't assigned the time slots yet, as soon as we have those finalized we'll send a media blitz.

?

Enjoy!
