[nabs-l] braille certification

[Anita Adkins]

Hello,

I am taking the Braille Certification Course from the NFB, which is in 
partnership with NLS. My books are in Braille. I have been a lifelong 
Braille reader, and I have never used print as a primary reading medium. The 
course begins by teaching Braille. If you know Braille, this is the route to 
take. If you do not, call or contact them with your questions. Their 
website, with a brief overview,  is:
