On Thursday we have our much-anticipated speaker- Dr. Cay Holbrook. If you search her name you come up with so many publications, research projects, keynotes, books, and editing credits it is hard to sift through it all! Cay is deeply passionate about literacy skills for children with vision impairments, as well as creating healthy collaborative teams with families, TVIs, and classroom teachers so her talk is not to be missed.
