The Accessible World News Wire, Indianapolis, Indiana USA
Dolphin Press, Inc., located in Hilo, Hawaii, has been providing high quality Braille translations of print-to-Braille, large print and audio tapes to organizations and individuals world wide for more than ten years. In a recent interview with an Accessible World representative, Dolphin Press founder and president Betsy Whitney commented, "I believe strongly that access to effective and meaningful communication is absolutely essential for everyone regardless of physical disability. I feel our company exists to make it possible for blind people to achieve their goals to live independently in the community of their choice. "
During this week's Books and Beyond Internet Talk Show, host Bonnie Blose will discuss why Ms. Whitney created the company, what skills and/or knowledge was required, and what is involved in mass Braille production. Then, following the formal interview, the virtual audience will be encouraged to ask the guest questions about the company and other related topics.
