Hi Friends, Family and new friends
Please fill this 14 question survey out? Computer use as an Adult
We need major research to prove how desperately children need computer instruction in the school systems by proving what the adult population is using now or if retired, what you did use in your job. The hope is to present this information next year everywhere around the world and in particular at blind conferences in order to get computer instruction into the school systems.
Please pass this onto family members, friends, colleagues, and adults you can think of and make a plea for them to fill it out. I need to collect as much data as I can in the next few months. Thanks for your help on getting the word out
Thanks again

Blind in the City: Some Straight Talk About Eye Pressing
When I went to the Louisiana Center for the Blind, there were two other young adult students who had the same eye condition as me: Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis or LCA. The three of us became friends, and would joke about being part of an exclusive “club.”
During one of our class discussions, one of the guys with LCA mentioned that he used to press on his eyes when he was a baby. This caught my attention. Eye pressing (also known as eye poking or, in clinical terms, the oculo-digital reflex) involves pressing one’s fingers, knuckles or fist against one’s eye. It’s a common topic of discussion among parents of blind babies and children, particularly those with LCA and related retinal conditions. Appearing early in infancy, eye pressing may be one of the first hints that a baby is blind, as it was in my own case.

Inclusion in action: Jack shows students what’s possible with Office 365, a screen reader and a keyboard
Today, we meet Jack Mendez, an instructor, at the Louisiana Center for the Blind. Jack shows his students the full power of technology, and teaches them about the accessibility features and capabilities in Office 365 and Windows 10. Jack’s story is part of our Inclusion in action series announced last month, highlighting how accessible technologies enable transformative change.
Here’s his story.
When a sighted person walks into Jack Mendez’s classroom, one of the first things they notice is a workstation without a screen. For Jack, this is a striking example how far assistive technology has advanced.
“I have a computer without a screen, and that’s intentional because I want people to understand that all you need is a keyboard and some headphones.” said Jack. “You can produce and consume content and use the computer…. go to full story
