Thank you for your interest in the 2023 California Transcribers and Educators of the Blind and Visually Impaired (CTEBVI) Parent Institute! The Parent Institute will run from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm on Saturday, April 22, 2023 at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront in Burlingame, CA. The Parent Institute is open to any parent or legal guardian of a child who is blind or visually impaired, and is free of charge!
We have planned a series of workshops designed to help you learn new ways to support your child, share best practices, and connect with other parents and guardians of children who are blind, visually impaired, or deafblind. You do not need to be present the whole day in order to participate, but if you can, that is highly recommended. Lunch will be provided.
