Register Now 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

Visit the Braille Symposium Web page at www.nfb.org/BrlSym to register now!
You will also find information on how to reserve a room at the Holiday Inn
Inner Harbor or at the NFBJI.
