[blindkid] summer Braille and abacus lessons for a 9th grader

[Brandy W]

Hi, Why don't you email me off list, and we can talk. I didn't become
profession in Braille till middle school although taught it from birth so
may be able to not only teach him, but relate. This was because people
thought I should go back and forth as I moved around the country. One school
said Braille, the next print so it wasn't till my vision got so bad I had no
choice did I get a good education in it.
For now get him some third grade books on topics he would like and make sure
he reads at least 30 minutes every day. It is ok if it is broke up into
small sessions.
