Come visit staff and students and learn about our programs in the exhibit hall at table A 28. #nfb22
National Convention is only 3 weeks away! Our staff and students are looking forward to joining our Federation family in New Orleans. What are you most looking forward to at #NFB22?
Two of our students completed their walk back drop routes, today. This involves being dropped off at an undisclosed area and having to use one’s skills and problem solving to find their way back to the Center on their own two feet. #canetravel #blindness #independence
Good luck to everyone taking the National Certification in Unified English Braille (NCUEB) exam today! #braille #braillerocks #brailleiscool
It’s National Telephone Day. Phones have become an essential technology in personal, social, and employment realms. Screen readers allow blind users to have access to and participate in the same digital spaces as their sighted peers. #NationalTelephoneDay #technology
Today, a student completed his large meal (cooking for 30-40 people). Students learn to budget, manage time, and calculate ingredient quantities all while showing off their cooking skills. So much hard work went into it and it came out delicious! #cooking #independence
We stand with U! Come join us at the We’re with U concert in support of #blind #Ukrainian #refugees. #BlindWithU
Federationists from across the country and members of the global blind community are lending their musical talent to support blind people in Ukraine. You can play a part in this important work by tuning in and making a donation. #BlindWithU buff.ly/36QmArv
Road redesign often occurs every 40-50 years. Staff and students have an unique opportunity right now to provide feedback on the redesign of a neighboring avenue. Thank you @CityMinneapolis for seeking input from the blind community regarding current projects!
This week, we had many student accomplishments, including a drop route, an industrial arts project, a large meal, and a graduation. Congratulations to all of our students for their accomplishments this week! #independence #buildyourfuture #celebratingsuccess
Not only do we build confidence with canes and cooking, but also with conversations. This morning’s seminar used table topics to develop staff and students’ ability to confidently speak off the cuff, an important skill to ace an interview. #publicspeaking #confidence #jobskills
