White House Celebrates Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness Week

Photo of Carl AugustoA colleague just passed along a GREAT blog post from the White House and I highly encourage you all to check it out. Last Friday, President Obama personally welcomed a group of people who are deaf-blind to the White House Oval Office. The group was in D.C. to celebrate Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness Week—a week set to demonstrate that successful deaf-blind persons are still thriving and excelling long after Helen Keller. It's great to report once again that President Obama and his administration are serious about their commitment to the disability community. Enjoy!
