[nabs-l] Question for blind students

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Joshua,

Well, what's funny is your problem with the rooms being only 
labelled "classroom" or "office" in Braille is the same problem 
that I sometimes have in my middle school! If you want me to, I 
can email you off-list and tell you some of my methods for 
finding classrooms in my school.  I will tell you now that in my 
school, the room numbers are written in Braille and in print 
above the "classroom" or "office" label.  Most of the time, these 
numbers follow an order in the hallways, so I have learned to use 
the room numbers to know where the room I'm looking for is.  I'll 
email you with more details off-list if you'd like to know them.

Faculty and staff have never given me problems, at my college.
The layout, and the fact that the Braille on the signs, for each
class, isn't informative enough, have been my main problems.
The rooms are labeled, "Classroom," and "Office," but the room 
number
is labeled, in Print.
Why not label the room numbers, in Braille?
This makes my traveling on campus, difficult!
Blessings, Joshua

 Thanks to those who have responded so far.

 My presentation is tomorrow morning during the 9:00 hour.  Other
 disabilities are also represented.

 It is primarily a personal sharing about our experiences, but I 
want
 to also get some feedback from the list.

 I agree with the campus layout being somewhat hard to navigate 
and
 challenges with handouts and online material.

 I meant to ask this in my original e-mail, but has anyone had 
positive
 experiences with faculty, staff, classroom and campus?

 Thanks,
 Osmond

 Dear All,

 I was just invited to give a ten minute presentation to an 
audience of
 faculty and administrators about the challenges sight impaired
 individuals face in the classroom and on campus.  I am the only 
sight
 impaired student represented.  I wanted to ask those on the list 
if you
 could share some challenges you face on campus and in the 
classroom
 that faculty and administrators should know.

 Thanks,
 Osmond
