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

[Debbie Gabe]

No, they are geared for those losing their sight and those who don't have much if any sight - both. I have complained that their workshop videos seem that they are more geared to low vision people. I email all the time giving my feedback.

Hadly is now designed mostly for people losing their sight. It feels as if that’s what most agencies are doing. Their entry braille course is definitely geared toward those with considerable sight, and I can’t see how it gives much incentive. The NLS Course is what you really need to take anyway.

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.
