Welcome to the Summer Back to School
Issue of the Visual Impairments and Deafblind Education Quarterly journal. This issue is
a great collection of articles for you to enjoy as a part of your summer reading to inspire
you for the upcoming school year. Please pay special attention for information about
running for an Executive Board Position to get more involved in CEC DVIDB. Also, take
some time and nominate someone making a difference in the field of visual impairments
and deafblindness for one of the five awards that are awarded each year by DVIDB.
This issue starts with an article that provides new intervention strategy ideas for
you to try in your classroom. The second article shares about a 5K and one-mile walk
fundraiser for the Foundation for Blind Children that benefits their amazing programs for
individuals with visual impairments. I had the opportunity to participate this year, and
was truly inspired by all of the runners and walkers that came together to support this
great event. I changed my editor's picture for this issue to remember that amazing day!
