become leaders in our field. Her enthusiasm for her work is contagious, and she is
always ready to collaborate on a new project.
Similarly, Dr. Lieberman has continued to publish peer-reviewed research
and present on adapted physical activity for individuals who are visually impaired
or deafblind. She has a talent for translating her work into practical tips for those in
the classroom. She is always willing to share her knowledge with teachers of
students with visual impairments or orientation and mobility specialists, whether it
be in-person at the AER conference, CEC conference, or in smaller groups. This
desire to share knowledge and grow the field has culminated in her role in creating
the International Symposium on Physical Activity and Visual Impairment or
Deafblindness. Dr. Lieberman has demonstrated an enduring commitment to the
community, and she continues to be strong advocate and educator.
Congratulations, Dr. Lauren Lieberman, DVIDB's Distinguished Service
