VIDBE-Q
Volume 62 Issue 1
I am excited to share with you the Winter 2017 issue of the Visual Impairments and Deafblind
Education Quarterly journal. This issue shares a lot of thought-provoking articles full of ideas to continue
your positive start to 2017 in the field of VI and DB.
This issue begins with 3 different reviews. The first is a book review of I-M-ABLE. The second
review is of a chapter on Cochlear implants. And the third is a review of recently released box office movie,
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Each review is intended to provide you with a variety of resources to
explore for pleasure and/or to add to reading/watch list of resources for the New Year.
The next article is focused on motivating our members and readers to attend the upcoming CEC
Convention in Boston in April 2017. The next article is a feature article on the visual impairment program
at the University of Arizona. This is followed by our feature article on a doc student from the University of
Arizona who is making a difference in the lives of those with visual impairments in rural indigenous
populations.
