*** The below message is from Melissa Riccobono *** I am writing because the Maryland Parents of Blind Children would very much like to hold a Structured Discovery workshop and experience at our NFBMD convention. The convention will be held November 10-12 in Towson, Maryland, which is just outside of Baltimore. Will any NOMC in the area or who is coming to the Dare To Be Remarkable conference earlier that week be available to stay for our convention-or at least for the day on the tenth, which is when we would like to hold our workshop. We want parents to have a good over view of Structured Discovery, and then we will be pairing parents and their kids up with blind adults so they can explore and get lunch from a mall which is very close to the hotel. *** You can respond to me or contact Melissa directly at: parenting at nfb.org Edward C.
