Please enter your letter of recommendation in the text area provided below: Re: Dr. Jacob Bolotin Awards To Whom It May Concern: It is my pleasure to submit this letter to recommend Tina Herzberg, Susan Osterhaus, Sara Larkin, and L. Penny Rosenblum for consideration for the 2024 Dr. Jacob Bolotin Awards. They are the authors of Learning and Teaching the Nemeth Code within UEB Contexts: A Step- by-Step Guide. This guide was used as a part of my teacher preparation program for my credential to teach students who are blind and visually impaired. It was essential in my education of the Nemeth code. I believe that the work of these educators exemplifies NFB’s mission, as they have each demonstrated a desire to help blind people live the lives they want. They have shown an innovative way of teaching the Nemeth code and have helped prepare many teachers of the visually impaired (TVIs) to teach their own students. Teaching our students the code allows us to assist our students in accessing their education and preparing for their future success. I highly recommend these individuals for this award. If you need additional information, please email me at liz.southern@beyondblindness.org or call me at 214-952-5288. Sincerely, Liz Southern TVI NFB Teacher of Tomorrow (22-23 cohort)
