style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I actually tried the dots for
labeling my clothing but found it difficult to remember every color the dots
represented. I prefer to use aluminum tags that contain <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>the Braille initials for colors suchas
the initials <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>grn for green. This is
a practical idea to remember the color of the clothes you are selecting to wear.
When this student begins to learn the Braille letters you can introduce this
list of clothing labels and assist the student to mark the clothing with the
appropriate color. One of my blind students who I taught the Braille alphabet to
was so fascinated that her clothes could be labeled with these aluminum tags
that represented the colors of her clothes. This is a method to consider. You
can check www.independentlivingaids.com or <A
href="http://www.maxiaids.com/">www.maxiaids.com</A> to see who sells these
aluminum labels. The rehab teacher should know though how you can get a hold of
these aluminum Braille label tags. </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
