Hello. I am curious if anyone has taught technology and Braille to adults who do not speak a word of English. Can you share your experiences? The end goal is getting the adult employed and I am struggling with finding the balance between teaching these skills while they are learning English. For example, I am curious if teaching contracted Braille when they do not read or speak English is the right move. They are taking ELL classes and also need assistive tech training. I am struggling with finding resources to teach computer literacy when there may not be words in their language to explain the concept. Ideas, thoughts, and experiences welcome!
