  for the

  Braille Symposium

  September 27-29, 2012

  at the
  National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute
  Baltimore, Maryland



  The National Federation of the Blind, a leading champion for Braille, is 
excited to announce the Braille Symposium, which will provide professionals, 
blind people, and other interested parties with an opportunity to learn 
about and discuss promising practices in Braille instruction and teacher 
preparation in Braille. The symposium will feature sessions in three 
formats: vignettes from blind people on how Braille is being used today, 
presentation/discussion sessions on promising practices, and problem 
solution sessions.

  Speakers will include leading experts who will discuss the most innovative 
work that is being done on Braille today. Presentation topics will include:

  ·       teaching the Braille code efficiently and effectively
  ·       providing high quality Braille instruction to blind adults
  ·       current practices in Braille instruction at the university level 
for future teachers of the blind
  ·       integrating Braille instruction into the classroom reading 
curriculum
  ·       integrating Braille and print

  Problem solution sessions will focus on:

  ·       the large caseloads teachers have to manage
  ·       setting up future teachers for success in their university Braille 
courses while maintaining high standards
