DVIDB showcase presentation featured "Reflections from Parents of Children
Who are Deafblind." I am always impressed by the quality of work in our field.
DVIDB members, colleagues, and friends had a wonderful evening at The
Tavern on Fourth in Louisville at DVIDB's annual social event. We celebrated
with several of DVIDB's award recipients who were in attendance where they
received their awards. We are proud of the work they do and were honored to
recognize the contributions they make. We wish to extend our gratitude to the
American Printing House who generously sponsored DVIDB's social.
