Learning Braille at no Cost
January is Braille Literacy Awareness Month in honor of Louis Braille’s Birthday, January 4, 1809.
How many times has the Hadley been mentioned during the last 30 days? Hadley offers many workshops for individuals who are blind or visually impaired at no cost–in the comfort of your home. There’s no catch, and you may even find yourself hooked on braille. Workshops are available as Braille by Sight or Braille by Touch, and workshops can be taken online, using a telephone (yes a landline will work), and through the postal mail.
Also mentioned perhaps the same number of times, the APH Directory of Service where you can look for a Vision Rehabilitation Therapist, or braille instructor near you. Often, there is no cost for these services through state or local agencies.
Here’s that link again to the slate and stylus, which is used to create braille on heavy stock paper. It’s $11.95 from LS&S Products.
