Seminars at Hadley Presents: Braille Literacy - Hadley Style

Date: Monday, July 2, 2012

Did you know that Hadley’s first course offered at a distance back in 1920 was a
braille course? Do you wonder how this was possible? How does this method of
learning to read and write braille really work at a distance?

Join Seminars at Hadley as instructors Sharon Howerton and Susan Fisher explain the
braille courses they teach from the early fundamentals of tracking to the
alphabet through contracted braille.

Dean of Educational Programs and Instruction Doug Anzlovar will moderate this
60-minute seminar. A question and answer session will be included as part of the
seminar.

Space in this seminar is limited. Please only register if you know you are
available to attend so that others are not closed out. [1]To register for this
