Pennsylvania requires Personal Financial Literacy coursework to meet high school graduation requirements, but students with blindness/low vision may benefit from more information than mainstream Personal Financial Literacy courses often provide. This session series will explore the new Pennsylvania Standards for Personal Finance and discuss ways to make that instruction more meaningful. The series will also dive deeper into financial matters specific to blind (and some low vision) students, including government support programs and benefits, work incentives, and special savings vehicles.Presenters Hilary Hunt, a national expert in financial education, David DeNotaris, a successful blind entrepreneur/expert trainer, and Carlton Anne Cook Walker, a professional educator, parent of a blind young adult, and practicing attorney, will guide parent and educator participants in making financial literacy curricula both accessible and meaningful for transition-age students with blindness/low vision, while highlighting needed additions in general financial literacy curricula. |
