blparent -- Blind Parents Mailing List
About blparent	English (USA)
The purpose of this list is to create a forum for blind parents to share their experiences. Topics may include but are not limited to solving logistical problems (such as how to manage a couple of wiggly toddlers at a shopping mall when you need one hand for your cane an the other to carry packages), emotional issues such as dealing with the public, handling a child's embarrassment about blindness, etc. Parents are also encouraged to share resources, such as arranging the exchange of print/Braille books. There will also be occasional posts concerning topics of interest to blind persons and/or members of the National Federation of the Blind. This list is moderated by Steve Jacobson. He will handle questions and problems concerning the content of the list. You can reach Steve at steve.jacobson@visi.com If you have technical problems, please contact David Andrews at: david.andrews@nfbnet.org To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the blparent Archives.
