[Pibe-division] Teaching Braille to Someone with Very Limited English Skills

[Smith, Pauline L]

Good Morning,

This past Tuesday, a student began our training program with very limited English skills.  An interpreter is with her during class.  I would like some suggestions on how or whether it is possible to teach er Braille.  Right now, she is not on my schedule because of the communication barrier.  I would like to work with her if it is possible.  Any suggestions, teaching techniques, and/or places to obtain materials would be appreciated.
