[Nfbwv-talk] dear colleague letter on braille instruction

[Smyth, Charlene R]

Keri, 

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.  I was really
surprised when I got a call from Barbara Pryor this morning as it had
not been very long after I sent her an E-mail.  She was very positive
about it.

Charlene

greetings fellow list members,

I'm proud to have contacted both 
Senator Joe Manchin's office and 

Senator Jay Rockefeller, IV's office regarding this.

This is very important to me as you all know by now. I'm a full
supporter and I think all children should be taught if at all possible.
If other disabilities prevent them from learning at least introduce it
to them, and try to work out a way they can learn. There are ways to be
creative when teaching braille to someone with multiple disabilities.



Mantion is in the state today but the very nice lady that answered the
phone in his DC office listened to me and took notes, and assured me she
would pass it along. She also spoke on how he loves to hear from us. :)



I got to speak with Barbara Pryor, Senior Legislative Assistant to
senator Rockefeller who informed she talked to miss charleen Smith our
president over there, and that it was being looked at very closely.



I highly encourage and ask you all to also make these calls to make a
difference for current, and future students.



thank you,

keri
