I have corresponded with Rhonda Thompson, Director of Older Blind and Children Services at the South Carolina Commission for the Blind. I am going to share my low vision and blind math manipulatives with Ms. Thompson and her colleagues on July 24th at 10:00 in Greenville, SC. I am looking forward to the opportunity!

See you at the NCCTM Conference!
I was looking on the Internet, and I found a demonstration video that the Oklahoma ABLE Tech Assistive Technology Center had done with the manipulatives they had purchased about 2 1/2 years ago. In March 2018, the North Carolina Assistive Technology Program also did a demonstration video to share my teaching strategies with the NC teachers that they support.
I have scheduled a demonstration on July 23rd at 1:00 with Marie Underwood, Director of Shared Services, at Northeast Georgia RESA. I am looking forward to meeting and sharing my instructional strategies with her. If you are interested in attending my demonstration, feel free to contact Ms. Underwood at Northeast Georgia RESA.
I have been invited by Elizabeth Bourne’ in Thornridge High School District near Chicago, IL to do a demonstration on June 13th at 1:30- 3:00. It has been about one year since I have done a demonstration in Illinois. I am looking forward to the opportunity!
On my way to the 2018 IDEAS Conference, I stopped by the Heart of Georgia RESA in Dublin, GA. I met with Connie Howell, School Improvement Specialist. After she saw some of my teaching strategies, she suggested that I provide additional information and possibly schedule a 1/2 day workshop. Please follow “Latest News” for updated information regarding date and time!
I was not sure what to expect from doing my third demonstration at the third Institute Designed for the Educating All Students Conference on St. Simons Island, GA. I had a very enthusiastic group, and they were definitely attending the conference for the right reasons- to gain information to help their students!
I enjoyed meeting educators and specialists at the South Carolina Assistive Technology Program. Tammy Wallace, Project Coordinator, did a great job organizing my demonstration. Thanks for your help!
