Resources for Parents

[Marcia Hopkins]

I would like to have a Bookshare session for parents of my visually impaired students. As a resource I would use:

Parent Ambassador Program link

https://www.bookshare.org/cms/get-involved/connect/parent-ambassador-program

Bookshare on Social Media (Facebook) and Pinterest

https://www.pinterest.com/bookshare/

A guide for college information for parents, students, and teachers.

I would also invite parents to our monthly student led tech club meetings and ask a bookshare rep in my area to be available for parent question and answer session.

Marcia, I was not familiar with the affordable colleges online website for students with visual impairments. It has a wealth of information and recommendations. Thank you for sharing.
