[nabs-l] learning braille

[Ashley Bramlett]

Stephanie,
You could go through rehab to learn, but you'd still need to study yourself.
You could request they send a rehab teacher to your home to teach you. Most 
vr agencies employ itenerant rehab teachers or contract this service out.

Another idea is hadley school for the blind and there you would study via 
corespondence classes. You might see if there is another nonprofit serving 
blind people in your area. They would offer braille classes. For instance a 
lighthouse for the blind. In CA, they have braille Institute.

I am glad you want to learn braille.

Hello all,

I was wondering how one goes about learning braille as an adult.  I'm 27
and have been reading print all of my life because I do have enough vision
to do that.  However, I'm regretting not learning it when I was a child.
Well, I did learn the alphabet, but not really much further than that.
What are the steps one takes to learn braille?  Do you go through
vocational rehab?  I don't necessarily want to take time off to go t a
living center, but I think weekly lessons or something would be fine.
Thanks!

Stephanie
