[blindkid] Braille instruction for 12 year old

[Alyssa]

Hello Amber. I believe we need a bit more information before making suggestions. How proficient is your daughter with Braille now? What needs to be improved? By that I mean just her speed or actual knowledge of Braille. Knowing these things will give you better answers.
