Continuing Education Opportunity for an NOMC
Hello,
If one of you or several of you wanted to earn some continuing education
points and make a contribution to the body of knowledge, I have a job for
you.
It was brought to my attention that Wikipedia has a page for Orientation and
Mobility. Although it was lasted edited this April, there is no mention of
Structured Discovery, NOMC, or any of the history.
As I understand Wikipedia, you can go in and edit the page so long as you
are putting in factual data.
In fact, here is the link to go in order to edit the page.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orientation_and_Mobility
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Orientation_and_Mobility&action=
edit> &action=edit
I am glad to provide you with background information which would make it
easier to cut and paste, but this is a pretty good project I don't have time
for right now.
Let me know if you are interested

Hi Dr. Bell, I believe I can help with this. It would be my first time to do this kind of work. Sincerely, Ben

Helolo Dr. Bell, I have attached a document that I wrote for the Nebraska Center approximately seventeen years ago, which may have some useful information that could be used for the Wikipedia page. Those working on the project would be welcome to use any portion of this that may help.
