            The July-August 2007 issue of DIALOGUE: A WORLD OF IDEAS
FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE OF ALL AGES IS HERE! In this issue we
explore how governmental bodies around the world have addressed
accessible currency for citizens who are blind, take an in-depth look at
using a cane versus working with a guide dog for travel and learn about
the many employment opportunities available for students with
disabilities completing the program at the National Statler Center for
Careers in Hospitality Service. In addition, we interview an independent
cruise consultant who is blind, hear from a professional mediator who
explains how a vision impairment can be an asset on-the-job, discover
two new products helpful to blind musicians and learn about the benefits
of working with assistive technology in the computer lab at college and
becoming a mentor to others. Plus read about a high school student who
didn't let blindness prevent her from joining the cross-country team, a
blind vacationer who sails aboard an antique schooner off the coast of
Maine and a visually impaired woman who overcomes a whole host of
challenges living in the Alaskan wilderness. All this and much more
including tips for making cool summer treats, uncovering golden nuggets
on the Internet, shopping more efficiently, handling paper money, the
Editor's Welcome, Notes From Readers, What's New and Where to Get It and
Calendar.
