[Blindtlk] Hadley and other online Braille resources

[BrianMiller]

Hi Arielle,

Both Hadley and the Perkins school for the blind in Watertown, Mass, work
with students around the world.  I wouldn't be surprised if Perkins had a
program in Guatemala... Check them out.  

Good luck,

Brian M

I used the mobility method when I was a kid to get around school just like
Arielle described.

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
