Grant Horrocks earned his degree in piano performance in 1971 from the Royal Conservatory of Music, Toronto. He developed the Southern California Conservatory of Music’s academic structure and co-chaired SCCM’s Braille Music Division since its inception in 1992. During his tenure, Grant created a specialized repertoire and keyboard geography curriculum for blind students. He led BMD teaching assistants in outreach programs for many blind and multi-disabled children at various special education schools and institutions throughout Los Angeles, including Braille Institute (Orange County), Francis Blend Elementary, and Joaquin Miller High School, a public school for children who are challenged by moderate to severe physical, mental and/or emotional disabilities. He served as the Los Angeles representative of the National Music Certificate Program (formerly Royal American Conservatory Examinations – RACE).
While working for SCCM, Grant became a member of the CTEBVI board and served as President from 2008 to 2012. He completed his term as president and then stepped in for a second term when the incoming president left the board for family reasons.
During this time, he accepted the responsibility of Conference Chair, keeping CTEBVI afloat during tough economic times. The board recognized the need for a steady hand at the helm and appointed Grant as the first Executive Director of CTEBVI in 2017. He served in this capacity until his untimely death on March 20, 2024.
Grant laid the groundwork for this conference and the 2025 conference. His leadership brought us through two virtual conferences and back in person last year. Although Grant was fond of referring to himself as “only the piano player,” he could be found everywhere all at once at a CTEBVI Conference, doing whatever was needed.
This organization has benefited from having Grant as a member and leader, and those of us who knew him and worked closely with him benefited on a personal level as well. Grant was devoted to his wife, Suzan, and their four children and was fiercely loyal to his friends. He will be missed, but, more importantly, he will be remembered. His legacy will live on through the work of CTEBVI.
December 23, 1942 - August 30, 2023
CTEBVI has created the Judith Lesner Advocacy Award to honor individuals who advocate to level the playing field for persons living with disabilities.
Born in Brooklyn in 1942, Judith spent her youth living on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx. She was an alumna of the Bronx High School of Science and Hunter College. She was introduced to the disability community when she worked at Camp Jened (Oscar nominated documentary called “Crip Camp.”)
In 1963 she joined the Peace Corps where she served three years in the Philippines. After her service, Judith lived for a while in Vietnam and India and then traveled around the world by land to Israel. It was while giving blood in Haifa, Israel, that she met her future husband Walter Buxton. Judith moved to the Bay Area in 1970 where she worked at an Easter Seal Camp for people with disabilities and later at the California School for the Blind for over 25 years.
When her son Jacob was born with cerebral palsy, Judith turned her early experiences into fodder for a life of effective, able-bodied ally-ship. Among her other work, Judith taught thousands of parents in workshops to better advocate for their children’s rights in school settings.
Her greatest joy was her son and his wife.
Robert Englebretson is Associate Professor of Linguistics at Rice University, where he teaches courses in linguistic analysis, discourse and grammar, field methods, and research on braille. His academic career began with fieldwork in Indonesia, a book and several articles on Colloquial Indonesian grammar and discourse, and research on stancetaking in conversational interaction.
Englebretson is a life-long braille reader, and his focus on braille research began in 2006 when he was appointed to the International Council on English Braille’s Committee on Linguistics and Foreign Languages. In this role, he revised and published a braille version of the International Phonetic Alphabet to empower better access to phonetics for blind and visually impaired people working in language-related fields. In November 2019, the Braille Authority of North America recognized Englebretson with the Darleen Bogart Braille Excellence Award for this work. Also in 2019, a team of researchers including Englebretson, Simon Fischer-Baum (Rice University) and Cay Holbrook (University of British Columbia) were awarded an Exploration research grant from the Institute for Education Sciences (AWARD No. R324A190093) “Exploring the Knowledge, Skills, and Strategies Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments Need to Effectively Teach Braille Reading and Writing.”
His current work seeks to bring braille research squarely into the mainstream of the reading sciences, and to contribute to evidence-based approaches to improving braille literacy.
Simon Fischer-Baum is an Associate Professor of Psychological Sciences at Rice University and a Program Director for the Perception, Action, and Cognition Program at the National Science Foundation. His research focuses on the cognitive and neural underpinnings of our ability to read and write, across different populations and writing systems. He has been named a "Rising Star" by the Association for Psychological Sciences, won a prestigious CAREER award from the National Science Foundation, and won the Charles Duncan Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement and George R. Brown Award for Superior Teaching from Rice University.
Cay Holbrook began her career as a teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) during her undergraduate pre-service teacher training program at Florida State University. She continued to teach students in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida while she completed her master’s and doctoral degrees also at Florida State University. Cay's first faculty position was at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. After three years she moved to Little Rock to assume a faculty position at The University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) where she was coordinator for the TVI program. She remained at UALR for eight years and, in 1998, moved to Vancouver, British Columbia to join the faculty at The University of British Columbia where she is now.
Along with her dear friend and professional collaborator, Alan Koenig, Cay worked on defining a process to determine learning and literacy media for students with visual impairments through a data-driven collaborative team approach called Learning Media Assessment. This process resulted in one of twelve textbooks that have been written or edited by Cay and her collaborators. These textbooks include two editions of Children with Visual Impairments: A Parents' Guide, two editions of Foundations of Education for Students with Visual Impairments (Volumes 1 and 2), and support for teachers learning and using braille, The Braille Enthusiasts' Dictionary (EBAE and UEB versions), and Ashcroft's Programmed Instruction in Braille (EBAE and UEB versions).
Additional professional highlights have been her work with the Jimmy Carter Presidential Center in preparing professionals in China, her collaborations with professionals in Sweden, United Kingdom, and Australia. In addition, she was co-founder (along with Janie Humphries Blome) of the Getting In Touch with Literacy conference. She has been an active member of professional organizations since joining as an undergraduate student. In 1992 she received the Alfred Allen Award and, in 2002, the Warren C. Bledsoe Award from AER and has been honored to receive the CEC-DVI Distinguished Service Award, the J. Max Wooly Award for Superior Service from the Arkansas Chapter of AER, the Canadian Vision Teacher's Conference Distinguished Service Award, the University of British Columbia Killiam Teaching Award and most recently The Wings of Freedom Award from the American Printing House for the Blind.
SATURDAY, APRIL 20
9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Location: Suite E
Youth, ages 14-24, will spend the day at an institute during the conference geared especially for them. The Braille Institute and Wayfinder Family Service (formerly Junior Blind) are co-sponsoring this event with CTEBVI. Sessions will include advocacy, living skills, transition planning, assistive technology, and networking during interactive workshops. Each table will include a facilitator or two young adults and/or youth staff successfully transitioning to college and/or careers.
Part of the day will be in the Exhibit Hall learning about new technologies and other blindness supports. Following the institute the youth will continue to receive information pertinent to them and hopefully stay connected to the youth and leaders they networked with during their event.

9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Location: Suite F
We all know how important the parent is in the success of the child in becoming an independent youth and then a working adult. California Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (CAPVI) is co-sponsoring this premiere event. This Parent Institute is a full day of sessions geared to provide support, information, and networking for parents of youth in transition.
Learning from each other’s successes and challenges, parents will be led through interactive sessions to build skills their children will need, as well as how to let go when the children are ready to be independent. The hope is that at the end of the institute the parents will continue to network throughout the year.

A two-day training with eight, 90-minute modules led by nationally renowned presenters.
The IDEA is Federal Law, and requires each state to adopt statutes and regulations which implement the IDEA in that state. This training will familiarize you with the provisions of the IDEA and will introduce you to the elements of a compliant program of services for visually impaired students, as well as providing you with the necessary information and skills required for implementing programs for students with the low incidence disability of visual impairment. Your certificate of attendance should prepare you to function successfully within the framework of Federal law and as a support paraprofessional in most educational settings for students with a range of visual impairments.
