[NHLakesChapter] Please Reinstate Critical Funding for Blind and Deafblind Students

[danatrahan at comcast.net]

My name is Dana Trahan and I want to urge Secretary McMahon to reinstate the
grant funding for IDEA Part D programs as well as the RSA 235E grants. This
funding is critical to support increased Braille literacy for teachers of
blind students and the blind youth of America. 

Studies have shown that students who can read Braille go on to have better
education outcomes and better employment outcomes later in life.
Additionally, I'm also asking that you reinstate funding for the four
deafblind technical assistance centers in Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, and
Massachusetts. Please allow today's blind and deafblind students to have an
opportunity to better themselves for a brighter future for all of us.

 

 

All the best,

 

Dana Trahan
