[New-york-news] [New-York-news] Question about learning Braille

[cheryl echevarria]

Well, since Hadley, doesn't offer large braille, and I have diabetic Neuropathy caused by diabetes. I was looking for this solution to see if anyone had some solutions to this problem.
Thank you Julie

Then I don't understand what your question is jump rope rail is just the regular braille only the spacing between the dots is a little bit more space

I have taken Hadley in the past, and did call them about it, they say they don't do the large braille, but working on it again, we will see what happens.

I don’t think so Cheryl if they don’t offer it you could ask before you start it.  I started learning it that way and they send you 3 books and you work with recorded lessons and follow along.  I think if you concentrate on learning the paddren rather then figuring out each dot you may find it easier with the smaller dots.  I’m not sure if anyone even teaches it any more with jumbo braille.  Convention was great but I’m glad to be home!  Margo left for the other convention today and is having a good time so far.  Talk to you soon.
