[blindkid] Brian continues to learn Braille

[Lenora J. Marten]

Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing! So glad to hear that you've
found people that are taking you seriously. We had many of the 
same issues, even with the first blind school we tried. And one of
our sons has very little usable vision. Today, he is a dual print/braille
reader. In fact, his braille teacher is trying to talk him into taking
the Braille transcribers exam. It's been a long journey thus far, 
but well worth it! You're doing a great job! I look forward to 
more videos!

Hi all!
I just wanted to share a quick video of Brian reading a Braille note that I
rote to him after completing my Introduction to Braille course through the
adley School for the Blind. It's really exciting to see him making such
ncredible progress! At this time last year, he didn't even know the
omplete alphabet! That was after spending a year working with a TVI who
ept insisting that he really didn't need Braille, that he didn't like
raille, and that his vision was amazing! (Even though he was tripping over
hanges in elevation, etc. All the familiar stuff.) He is now attending our
tate academy for the blind, where most of the teachers understand the value
f Braille, and where they take my concerns seriously. Tonight he read his
irst complete book from beginning to end (A Kiss for Little Bear).
nfortunately, my camera battery died! Argh!!
But I recorded this for posterity, anyway.

I hope you enjoy it!
