[humanser] Tips on Presentations & Braille

[Ericka J. Short]

I am learning it in my early 40's.  I can relate very well to  what you are 
posting here.  Memorizing and writing notes in Sharpie is tiring and if you 
drop them.....NIGHTMARE!  I’m glad you shared this concern.   It's taken me 
several years to  develop speed and reading comprehension  with grade 1 
braille.  There were a lot of other factors that made this  take forever but 
I truly recommend going to Hadley's classes and giving it a shot.  They have 
remodeled the curriculum and it is more understandable, gives practice 
reading and writing  from the beginning and teaches tracking patterns before 
anything else.   The teachers are wonderful and supportive.  I tried with 
the NFB center in MN but the  teacher was ineffective at that time. 
Consider learning from them and let me know.  They are wonderful!

I am in the process of  labeling files, file cabinets and  so on to attempt 
to get organized.  It's better than sniffing to find what you want.  I'm 
going to put braille labels on  resources and  more so I don't have to 
strain my eyes any more than necessary.  Grade 1 will allow me to do this. 
I am writing  notes to myself like doctor appts, phone messages to read back 
to my hubby, and  grocery lists.  Even my passwords are going into braille. 
If a robber canread that, they are pretty amazing!

You can do it!  Call me and leave message.  We can talk about this more.  I 
don't pick up on the first ring so  please leave a message.
