VIDBE-Q Volume 65 Issue 3 families, many practitioners and student teachers also participated by observing model lessons. All of the sessions were recorded and have been archived on the APH YouTube Channel. They are available to watch for free at any time. Comments from TSBVI "Coffee Hour"/Texas School for the Blind Outreach Program The TSBVI coffee hour invited teachers, paraprofessionals, and other school staff every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday free of charge to discuss topics to support students with visual impairments and/or deafblindness. Many people took advantage of this hour and gained a lot of information. This award is a great and unexpected honor, for which we are immensely grateful. What started as a "crazy" idea grew into a robust program of collaboration across agency, state, and international lines. TSBVI Outreach "Coffee Hour" is a testament to the efforts, expertise, and collaborative spirit that is found in our field. We want to recognize the work of the team members of TSBVI Outreach in creating and presenting content, scheduling presenters, managing media platforms and permissions, and organizing materials for access. We also want to specially recognize the efforts of families and colleagues in Texas, Washington, Utah, Oklahoma, Maryland, Michigan, New England, the Netherlands, and elsewhere, who participated by presenting or providing content. This collaboration made for important contributions to Coffee Hour. Thank you,
