[Fopbc] Braille Literacy: Friends and Mentors, a Florida Story

[FOPBC at aol.com]

Ugh!! I read the article from this link and now, just like you have found,  
it's not coming through for me. It says "article not found". It's in the 
online  version of American Chronicle. They are sending a word document of the 
article  to me. As soon as I get that I will forward it to you.

Hi  Lenora,
 
This article sounds  tremendous.  I read the paragraph, apparently from the 
article, in  your email.  I clicked on the link, but could not find the 
story.   Was this in aFlorida paper?

Braille Literacy: Friends and  Mentors, a Florida Story

If it  was up to you to teach legally blind children, would you insist that 
they  use their remaining vision as much as possible, even if it meant that 
they  were functionally illiterate and one day they would walk in front of 
a  truck with their young child? Or, would you want to give them the tools  
and awareness to become successful adults who could function independently  
and safely? The answer may seem obvious, but thousands of  America's blind 
kids are being  forced to settle for a substandard education, leading to 
lives of  dependence with little chance for employment and unnecessary danger. 
Jody  Ianuzzi is a Major in the Civil Air Patrol and a marshall arts  
instructor. Along with her friend Debbby Bracket, who holds a master's in  early 
childhood education, she is changing what it means to be blind.
