I appreciate the quick response from Marsha Gunderson, Consultant for Audiology, Deaf and Hard of Hearing at the Iowa Department of Education and Iowa School for the Deaf. I emailed some information to Ms. Gunderson and she responded by informing me that she is going to share my strategies with her colleagues. Ms. Gunderson, like so many people who I have meet and/ or corresponded with over the past 3-4 years, has helped me get my teaching strategies outside of my classroom walls. As a result of her help, I hope to be given the opportunity to help many students all the way from Georgia!

I just received confirmation from Deana Bohannon, Regional Coordinator of Parent to Parent of Georgia, that my demonstration will be 2:00- 4;00 on July 20th at the Sara Hightower Library in Rome, Georgia. Please RSVP as soon as possible by sending me an email or calling 706-506-8411. I hope to see you there!

Based on the feedback I received at the 2017 Texas Assistive Technology Network Conference, I am planning to return to Texas during the week of October 2-6.

I just received notification the organizers of the 2017 Texas Assistive Technology Network Conference in Houston that my proposal to present was accepted. My session is on June 14th at 3:00-4:30. I am also going to be an exhibitor at the conference. I hope to see you there!

I received an email from Clara Zimmerman, a special education teacher from Sara Harp Minter Elementary in Fayetteville, GA. I met Ms. Zimmerman at the 2014 Georgia Assistive Technology in Education Conference in Atlanta, GA. Ms. Zimmerman currently uses Slide-A-Rounds with her students. She reached out to me and asked if her students could correspond with me by mailing letters. I gladly accepted the opportunity! Thanks for contacting me Ms Zimmerman!

I am about to book a flight to Tucson to share my strategies at the Arizona AER Conference on March 31st! The conference is going to be held at the Arizona School for the Blind in Tucson. See you there!

I received notification from Tamara Bishop-Amavilah, Arizona AER President, that AZ AER is now accepting presentation proposals for their 2017 Spring Conference on March 31st at the Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind in Tucson, AZ. I informed her that I have a pending training for teachers and administrators at Beaumont ISD in Beaumont, TX during the week of March 27-31. I am very excited about both opportunities to share my teaching strategies in Arizona and Texas. I wish I could do both!

Please check “Latest News” for the finalization of my plans once I hear from Beaumont ISD.
