Summoning our Better Angels
Summoning our Better Angels
This is an open letter to all who are dedicated to better services and improved outcomes for children and adults who are visually impaired or blind. These comments are my personal opinions and in no way represent the opinions of my employer or any organizations with which I am affiliated.
Every agency and organization is working hard to create opportunity and equality with the best intentions and high expectations but there are unfortunate divisions between some of our organizations. I hope this letter is a catalyst for discussion that will help acknowledge the invisible but very present elephant in the room and help us build stronger relationships.
Paul H. Olson, M.A. Ed. (COMS)
Just sharing....kind of long but he is pointing out the same "holding onto
grudges" between agencies that we had talked about...

I’m sorry. But, I only received a short message stating that people in the professions working with people who are blind need to work together to achieve the mutual goals we have for our students/clients. If there was more, I didn’t receive it.
