[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Braille discussion: Hadley classes

[Jasmyn Po]

I really don't like the new Hadley. I feel like it's becoming more targeted towards signing people which I don't have a problem with but also consider blind students especially if you're taking a Braille class where things are taco for us. Print Braille would  be for a sighted person. I don't think I'm going to take the transcribing class through Hadley, I'm going to take the nfb certification program instead.
