<b>Subject:</b> Possibility of putting a short announcement in the
Braille Monitor and/or Future Reflections<br>
<br>
Hello, Dr. Tina Herzberg at the University of South Carolina Upstate and
I are conducting a research study to learn more about the experiences of
people ages 18 to 25 who learned braille during their K-12 program after
they had learned to read and write using print. We would like to
invite these individuals to join us for an hour long focus group via
phone. The purpose is to help us better understand the transition
that a person goes through when learning braille after having learned to
read and write using print. We hope the information we gather can help
future teachers, families, and individuals going through the
transition. <br>
<br>
To participate in the study one needs to fill out a very quick online
form at
<a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XQCQXCX">
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XQCQXCX</a> to provide contact
information. If you wish to have the information in an alternative
format (electronic, print, braille) please contact Dr. Rosenblum at
<a href="mailto:rosenblu@u.arizona.edu">rosenblu@u.arizona.edu</a>.
Once your information is received we will then follow up with an email to
set up the focus group. <br>
<br>
To ask questions or learn more please contact Dr. L. Penny Rosenblum at

Thank you,<br>
