Joe,  I think your story is an ideal one for pushing Braille.  It needs to be
heard/read  by the public in somebody's newspaper along with a proclamation.

hi folks, i hope everyone got a chance to read or listen to the article in the
Tribune about braille. our president ms. chang was interviewed.i think parents
are the main reason children don't learn braille. i was taught braille at
the age of six. by second grade i could type it quickly. i also could read it
visually and this is where parents get in the way. instead of staying with
braille and mastering it my parents moved me into low vision school. if i could
read braille then i could read print. i think they were embarassed that i had to
read braille. so i lost the art. sooner or later i also lost the ability to read
print. i tried to go back to braille but i only master grade one. so parents out
there do not be ashamed of your child reading braille. my academic life was much
harder because i couldn't.
