[humanser] Writing Class-HELP!

Thu Jun 11 23:01:10 UTC 2015

Shari,

I see a lot of the comments here that are helpful if you know braille. I remember reading your post which said you were just learning braille. I don't know where you are in this but I want to say I respect you a great deal for going back even without being proficient yet.  I too am considering going back to school but not having the skills in technology and braille yet hold me back. It was difficult enough without any kind of assistance to get my bachelors years ago. I had to rely on print and cassette books because I didn't have access to anything even if it was a state college with "best" services for the disabled. I am rooting for you!
