[Pibe-division] Information query from an NFB member

[Heather Field]

Hello Carlton,
I don’t know the lady whom your contact is seeking. However, I’ll bet that the “Lego blocks” that were being used to teach braille was actually the Tack-tiles braille system.
Tack-tiles can be bought from the official manufacturer; they were designed by a father of a blind boy who had some additional disabilities and the traditional teaching establishment had declared that he simply couldn’t learn braille and they’d stopped trying to teach him to be literate. Needless to say, dad invented Tack-tiles the son loved them and learned to read and write and a wonderful product is available to assist children to learn braille.
www.tack-tiles.com
1-800-TACK-TILE FREE (822-5845) U.S. and Canada or 603 382 1904603 382 1904 //Fax 603 382 1748

 I hope your contact finds this useful.

Warmly,

Heather Field

I

Subject: [Pibe-division] Information query from an NFB member

Good morning,

 

NFB member Cheryl Brown, copied on this email, called me seeking the contact information for a woman she met but for whom she cannot find current contact information. Cheryl remembers that the woman’s name was Stephanie Rudy, that she worked at an NFB BELL site, and that she used Lego blocks to teach braille to blind children.

 

If you know of this person (or others with Lego-oriented teaching ideas), please reply to me, and I will forward the information to Cheryl.

 

 

Thank you!

 

Carlton
