Hi,
Thank you all for your suggestions. The problem is not braille, she is
learning braille and enjoys it a lot. The problem is anything she comes
into contact with she tends to tear. I got great suggestions about using
permabraille paper, but I also want to teach her methods for not breaking
things. She is part of a classroom and needs to respect the materials that
are there.
