doesn't work for the majority of the people I have dealt with. Most of
them need someone to assist them face to face or by telephone with completing
the lessons and integrating concepts such as tracking across the line and
inserting paper into the brailler or slate.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Hadley courses by going to her house once a month. Due to her learning
challenges, this is the only way she could successfully complete these
courses. Rehabilition officials would probably say she should rely on
audio and live readers to access information. She is determined to learn
braille.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Thanks for the information about Hadley. This is not a solution for
the people I am talking about. <BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Try Hadley School for the Blind in Winnetka Illinois. I
have a client taking a braille course from them now. It is very
thorough--spending the entire first course on tracking and finger
movement. It's either free or very reasonably priced.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>NFB of Ohio is looking into ways to provide braille
instruction to adults who are losing vision. Our division of the blind is
not as supportive of the need for braille as we would like. I would like to
know about some inventive ideas for braille instruction. We are looking at
virtual instruction for braille with local volunteers for support. That is
just one idea but we are open to any other suggestions. We do not have any
kind of rehabilitation center in OH so that is not an option. I am
especially interested in providing instruction outside of our metropolitan
areas.<U></U><U></U></P>
