Dear DVIDB members and friends,
In February, we were delighted to welcome so many colleagues at our pre -
convention and convention presentations and posters in Tampa, Florida. Because of the
sponsorship of the American Printing House for the Blind, we were able to host Millie
Smith for a full day gathering on "Growing Good Commun icators". If you weren't able to
join us or would like to share Millie's handouts or Millie's Symbols and Meaning videos ,
you can find these on the DVIDB and APH websites.
If you are following us on our DVIDB Facebook page , our team, which includes
active undergraduate and graduate student s, shared several highlights of the Tampa
convention, including snippets of presentations from mobile applications, research
findings, and insights on good teaching for the fields of VI and DB. A special thanks to
the leaders and contributors who are shari ng summaries of presentations in our quarterly.
