<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also thought of tutoring in an after school program but access to print
would be a barrier. While the kids could read it to me, they probably struggle
with reading and cannot read fluently, so that</DIV>
<DIV>idea would be unfair to both of us.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe you could help out with special events and decorate or plan it. Maybe
you could register those for some sort of program.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also it depends on your interests. Some classes have volunteer aids in the
class.</DIV>
<DIV>If interested in working with special education, they could probably use a
volunteer in the classroom.</DIV>
<DIV>If you work with a teacher, they probably can provide electronic formats of
print material for you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I tutored in an after school program run by a nonprofit, I ran into
the print issue too.</DIV>
<DIV>Sometimes instead of assisting with homework, I had one child read to me
which worked better because they could go at their own pace and spell
troublesome words to me. </DIV>
<DIV>I could also often guess the words by context clues. But the homework was
different because I needed to see the whole sheet and skim it to help them and I
could not do that.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh, you could also come in and read to children. You could even explain
about braille and who invented it assuming you read braille fluently.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>HTH,</DIV>
<DIV>Ashley</DIV>

<DIV>I am interested in volunteering at my local school. Since I would have no
access to the printed material since I am totally blind, I was wondering what
different people have participated in an order to volunteer at their
school.<BR>Thank you.<BR><BR></DIV>
