[nabs-l] Making the transition from elementary school to iddle school

[Roanna Bacchus]

Dear Students,

As another school year comes to a close I'd like to discuss the 
transition from elementary to middle school.  When I was in 
elementary school my TVI transcribed my assignments so that my 
sighted teachers could read them.  This happened until the start 
of my eighth grade year when I received my first BrailleNote.  I 
was able to hand in my assignments along with my sighted peers 
which amazed them.  At the end of my fifth-dgrade year I visited 
the middle school so that I could learn the layout and meet my 
teachers.  They also held a meeting with my mom before school tbn 
to discuss my transition and the different approaches that they 
would use with me.  I'd like to hear about your transitions from 
elementary to middle school.
