Subject: 44th Annual CTEVH Conference
The 44th Annual California Transcribers and Educators of the
VisuallyHandicapped (CTEVH) Conference will be held March 7-9, 2003, at
the San Francisco Airport Marriott Hotel in Burlingame. CTEVH Specialists
and other local, state, and national presenters will lead more than
90workshops to improve education services to students who are blind and
visually impaired.
State and local school personnel formed CTEVH during the late 1950s to:
"Strengthen working relationships and to exchange ideas among volunteer
braille transcribers and school personnel and to improve education services
to visually handicapped students."
This year's speakers include:
Mary Ann Siller of the American Foundation for the Blind. She will speak
on the Northwest Vista College Braille Textbook Transcriber Program in San
Antonio, Texas.
Mike May, who is a pioneer in sports, business, and community service. He
underwent stem cell and cornea surgery in 2000. His current dream is the
development of a talking global positioning system (GPS) navigation and
information system for people who are blind.
Michael Hingson, who was on the 78th floor of the World Trade Center in New
York on September 11, 2001, with his guide dog Roselle. He will tell us of
his experience. Years ago, our own Elinor Savage "brailled" him through
college years ago.
