Description:

Fall can be quite exciting for so many. Perhaps a pumpkin spice Latte from Starbucks or watching the leaves fall under the clear blue sky as the temperatures gently fall is not enough? For many students and educators, fall also marks the beginning of the start of the school year. Have you always wondered how you can support your blind students in your learning environment? Curious as to how you can create a more open and welcoming atmosphere for both students and educators could work collaboratively on implementing those accommodations and best support those diverse learning styles? We are joined by three vibrant, highly insightful educators in all disciplines bringing both perspectives as teachers and students themselves.

Thank you to our special guests Shelby Felter, Nick and Michelle Thompson.

Blindness skills training offers an opportunity to develop the skills necessary for independence during college and beyond. While we know training is beneficial, deciding if this type of program is right can constitute a challenge. In this episode, we sit down with our students who have all completed blindness skills training at the various training centers located across the United States. Finally, we discuss how to come to this important decision and what that decision means for you. we also combat a few of the stereotypes surrounding who should participate in blindness skills training.

On the NABS Now Podcast, we take the time to explore a variety of paths students can choose to take. This is because we believe that blind students should have just as many opportunities for their future as anyone  else. This episode is all about starting your own business. It may seem risky and a bit frightening, but many students are finding that the benefits far outweigh the downsides. Listen to learn more!
