Subject: [blindkid] Hadley and other online Braille resources


Dear all,

I am in contact with a mother of a blind preschooler living in
Guatemala. She is fighting tooth and nail so her daughter can attend a
mainstreamed school. As this is not a common occurrence in Guatemala
and there are no TVI's working outside the school for the blind, she
and her sister have taken charge of adapting all her daughter's
materials so she can fully participate. She asked where her sister
could go to learn Braille and other skills needed to provide support.
Does anyone know if the Hadley Braille correspondence courses are
available to people outside the  United States? Or, are there other
places where somebody could learn Braille in Guatemala? I know there
might not be the resources for her to obtain a full TVI credential,
but it seems just knowing how to teach the child Braille is an
important first step. Thanks for any suggestions.

Best,
Arielle
