[blindkid] I need help

[Carol Castellano]

Hi Sonya,

Amber Hall is now the president of the Indiana Parents of Blind 
Children.  I think her daughter is a dual reader.

We have recently published a new reading media assessment meant for 
visually impaired children who can see print.  It is called the 
NRMA--National Reading Media Assessment--and can be accessed at 
http://www.teachblindstudents.org/.

Also on that site is our brand new free downloadable book on teaching 
dual media, called Integrating Print and Braille: A Recipe for Literacy.

Last but not least, you might want to check out Joe Cutter's book, 
Independent Movement and Travel in Blind Children, available at 
http://secure.nfb.org/ecommerce/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=47&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=

Hope these resources are helpful.

Carol
