    I chose this bookmark because it has many resources for people that are blind. The first page, where the link is set, is about my cousion who is blind, and his success story. I have many memories of him growing up as a child. One link is for products and technology where there is a vast amount of resources from notetakers to talking books that will benefit someone with blindness. There is a great link on blogs that has many user experiences. The very first one was about Dropbox and problems happening with that at the moment. Very interesting blogs.

    Kathy, I enjoyed reading about your cousin. I too have a cousin who is blind and it is amazing what all she has accomplished with her parents not setting limitations and her having so much confidence and determination. I particularly liked the page for parents and educators. Its great that there are so many resources available and strategies listed that we can use as educators to help people who are visually impaired within our own classroom. All employers/professionals should take a look! Thanks for sharing, Lauren

    Hi Kathy, I loved reading this article about your cousin. What a great guy to have overcome the limitations set before him due to his blindness. He is a great example of how people with disabilities can do everything and more just like everyone else. His journey from being one of the first blind students allowed to attend public schools to being the president of the National Federation of the Blind of South Carolina is quite an accomplishment. You definitely should be proud! I loved the quote at the end of the article and how his son has a lot to be proud of. Thanks for sharing!

    Kathy, I have read this about your cousin before. I am so amazed at all he has accomplished. He has never used his disability as a crutch. He has done so many things to help others who are blind. There are some great resources here. Thanks for sharing.
