Managing Editor and President's
Message
Where two hats has many challenges, especially
finding time to manage two job's responsibilities.
Therefore, I have decided to combine the
"Managing Editor" and "President's" messages
for this issue. With this issue, we continue to rely
upon the wonderful authors who have provided
us with superb articles in a short amount of time.
In this issue, we have an article on Inquiry Based
Science Education by Drs. Tiffany Wild and Margilee Hilson. This article is a summary of their
wonderful DVI Showcase session at the 2013
CEC Convention and Expo in San Antonio. DVI
is going to strongly urge our presenters to write
summaries of their presentations in the future to
share with the general membership via the
DVIQuarterly.
Within this article, we have an excellent article by
Dr. Paula Conroy, Mark Davis, and Randy Witte
as they conducted field research on a recreational ski program for students with visual impairments. We have a medical summary of Retinopathy of Prematurity by Jennifer Lynn, a student from The Ohio State University. We plan to
include this type of short "issue brief" on eye diseases and disorders in the future as informational
items for teachers and parents. Lastly, we have
included an article by Kate Mozingo on her
unique perspective as a parent of a child with visual impairments and a student in a TVI program.
We truly believe that this is a unique collection of
articles for the membership to enjoy.
As the President of DVI, I am proud of the members who are supporting our efforts to get "caught
up" with the DVIQuarterly. We want to thank each
