[Trainer-talk] Braille curriculum

[Al Spooner]

Hi Rob,

An excellent choice for teaching Braille is the McDuffy Reader, and you can
purchase this online from the NFB Independence Market at

Although this is advertised as a tool to teach Adults, it works well for
youth as well.

Hi all,

 

I've been asked to run an introductory Braille course this summer.  Does
anyone know where I can get outlines or curriculums?  The goal is to
teach uncontracted Braille only, but get individuals to a point where
they could reasonably pursue Contracted Braille if so desired.

 

TIA,

 

-- Rob
