Dear AccessWorld readers,
Two years ago at this time, AccessWorld implemented a "Comment on this article" link at the end of each article to bring your comments, questions, and ideas right to my Inbox. Since that time, hundreds of you have written to share your thoughts, and many of these responses have been shared in the monthly Letters to the Editor column. Your feedback has been extremely valuable to the AccessWorld team and has helped us better understand your access interests and challenges.
In response to reader suggestions and requests, we have also recently added Facebook, Twitter, E-mail to a Friend, and Print buttons at the end of every article. You asked for easier ways to share AccessWorld articles, and we were listening.
For those of you who have written in, thank you, and for those who still haven't taken the opportunity, I encourage you to send me your comments on articles and your thoughts on any topics you would like to see addressed in AccessWorld.
The AccessWorld team hopes you enjoyed the July 2013 Back-to-School issue and gained information to help with getting ready for the upcoming school year. We would like to thank our sister site FamilyConnect for working with us to promote the issue to its visitors. If you are the parent of a child with vision loss or you know a child with vision loss, we encourage you to visit Family Connect to learn about all its resources.
Also, if you are an adult living with vision loss or know someone who is, we encourage you to visit the AFB VisionAware site. VisionAware has many resources, tips, and information on eye conditions, support groups, working life, and everyday living for adults of all ages who are blind or visually impaired.
By joining the VisionAware community, you can receive e-mail alerts for events and activities near you, as well as tips for living with vision loss, new articles or announcements relevant to you, your family members, or the individuals you serve. Simply visit the VisionAware Sign-Up Page.
The AccessWorld team hopes you enjoy the August 2013 issue and encourages you to continue sending us your feedback and to visit the AFB CareerConnect, FamilyConnect, and VisionAware sites!
Sincerely,
Lee Huffman, AccessWorld Editor-in-Chief
American Foundation for the Blind
