I Wanted to throw this out on the Blindness and Visually impared forms that I
knew.
I'm not looking for any responses.
Sorry, I couldn't clean it up for those that use screen readers but it is
audible.
I hope this episode brings light about the visually impared community to the
Sighted Impared Community.
Please respond off list to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

|
| >NFB and NBC's Three Wishes
|
| >This fall, NBC premiered a new primetime television program called Three
| >Wishes. This new program has captured the attention and the hearts of
| >television
| >viewers nationwide. Producers of this program travel to various towns
and
| >cities in the United States and grant "Three Wishes" in that community.
One
| >episode
| >of the program was filmed in Cedar City, Utah where a man wished that his
| >blind wife could be more independent in caring for their baby daughter.
NBC
| >contacted
| >the National Federation of the Blind of Utah for technical assistance in
| >granting his wish.
|
| >After consulting with Dr. Zaborowski and Dr. Wilson of the National
| >Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute, the local Utah affiliate of
the
|
| >National Federation of the Blind sent a team of four blind individuals to
| >provide consultation about blindness to the producers of NBC's Three
Wishes
| >and
| >to provide training that would lead to higher self-esteem and more
| >independence. Each member of the team is a graduate of the Louisiana
Center
| >for the
| >Blind (LCB) in Ruston, Louisiana. The LCB is one of three training
centers
| >sponsored and supported by the National Federation of the Blind.
|
| >The team members included:
|
| >Nick Schmittroth holds a National Orientation and Mobility Certification,
is
| >a graduate of the Louisiana Tech University O&M program, and is an
employee
| >of the Utah Division of Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired. He
| >provided orientation and mobility training.
|
| >Karl Smith, President of Axis Technology, an adaptive technology
consulting
| >company, provided adaptive technology and training.
|
| >Rebekah Jakeman, a blind mother of two children, provided guidance on
| >alternative techniques for caring for children and running a household as
a
| >blind
| >person.
|
| >Ron Gardner, President of the National Federation of the Blind of Utah
and
| >former Director of the Institute on Blindness at Louisiana Tech
University,
| >consulted
| >with the producers about blindness, provided Braille instruction, and
| >conducted philosophical training to Three Wishes producers and staff to
| >promote a
| >positive attitude about blindness.
|
| >The training was very successful and provided hope and education not only
to
| >the blind mother and her family, but also to program producers and the
| >residents
| >of Cedar City, Utah. Our hope is that this positive image of blindness
will
| >be promoted across America through the NBC Three Wishes primetime
television
| >program.
|
| >Producers expect this program to air on Friday, November 4 at 9:00 PM
| >Eastern 8:00 PM Central.
|
| >Please tune in on Friday evenings to watch Three Wishes!
|
| >You will soon be able to find information about the National Federation
of
| >the Blind on the NBC Three Wishes web page.
