Where can I meet blind and deafblind adults?
Contacting teens and adults with visual impairments may help you in raising your child. As your child grows older, he or she may like to meet others facing the same challenges. Here are a few options: • Ask for a mentor from TCB Transition and Vocational counselors 800-252-5204 or http://www.dars.state.tx.us/ • Attend the fall family retreat organized by DBMAT 972-287-1904 www.dbmat-tx.org/ • Contact the National Family Association for Deaf-Blind (NFADB) 800-255-0411 www.nfadb.org/ • Attend local chapter meetings, state and national conventions of: • American Council of the Blind (ACB) 713-691-3984 www.main.org/acbt/ • National Federation of the Blind (NFB) 512-323-5444 www.nfb.org/states/tx.
