MAB Community Services is having a discussion and hands-on activities group with Kathleen Kenney and Michele Reed, Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialists. They will discuss and demonstrate products available in the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) catalog, eligibility requirements, and the process for obtaining them. Date and Time: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 10 AM – 12 PM Place: DDS Greater Boston Area Office 65 Sprague Street Hyde Park, MA 02136 South Conference Room on the Mezzanine Level To Register, call or email the DDS Metro Region training line (781) 314-7533 Alice.Leyden@massmail.state.ma. For more information call Michele Reed at (617) 972-9103. The target audience for discussions and activities is providers at day and residential programs, families/guardians, clinical support staff and services coordinators. The meeting place is accessible. Many adults with legal blindness who participate in day habilitation or prevocational programs qualify for free products from the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) catalog every year. Find out who qualifies, how registration works, and what kind of things are available. If you already work with individuals who are enrolled with APH, here’s your opportunity to actually see many of the products available in the APH catalog and learn creative ways to implement them into day or residential programs.
