[acb-hsp] Introduction

Hi.  Welcome to the list Alexis.  I hope you don't mind my saying this: Alexis has shared with me some of the ways she does work with students and she is, indeed, quite creative.  I am truly hopeful that she will, at some point, share this with others here.  It would make for an awesome presentation.  I found her ideas quite innovative and interesting indeed.
I hope you can go further with your studies if that is your desire.

  My name is Alexis, and I am an adaptive technology instructor at an agency for the blind in Rochester, New York.  I have been working at this agency for 15 months having completed the majority of my course requirements for grad school.  The grad school issue is a whole other post in itself.  I tried to complete coursework leading to a masters in vision rehabilitation therapy, but things happened to derail that plan, things I won’t get into here.

  For the most part, I enjoy my work.  I love coming up with creative ways to teach my students computer skills and concepts.  Many of my students tell me that they feel more at ease with me as their teacher because I don’t rush them, nor do I show signs of impatience.  This makes me feel good because sometimes, impatience is something I struggle with in a teaching situation.

  When I’m not working and the weather is nice, I like taking walks with my Seeing Eye dog, Julia.  She is a 5 year old Lab/golden cross.  We’ve been a team now for 3 years.  It will be 4 years this coming September.  

  I look forward to participating on this list.

  Regards,
  Alexis Read
