Hello Colleagues,
If you have completed the professional needs survey for Project INSPIRE (Increasing the STEM Potential of Individuals who Read Braille), thank you! If you have not, please consider doing so. If by chance you started the survey and did not get to finish, you can pick up where you left off. We've attached a flyer about the survey that you can share with colleagues. The direct link to the survey is:
https://uofsc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3aggRrL7PbM718V
The survey closes December 6, 2019.
To assist the Project INSPIRE team in developing materials, we want to hear from those who are knowledgeable about braille and those who are not knowledgeable. We are seeking:
. Teachers of students with visual impairments
. Paraprofessionals
. Transcribers
. Staff at disability resource centers
. Staff at rehabilitation agencies
Currently we have strong representation from teachers of students with visual impairments, but we really want to make sure all groups are represented. Please especially share the flyer with those who work with transition age youth and those attending college.
We are now on Facebook so be sure to like us. Search on "Project inspire" to find us and invite your friends to like us too!
