> Dear all,
> 
> I am in contact with a mother of a blind preschooler living in
> Guatemala. She is fighting tooth and nail so her daughter can attend a
> mainstreamed school. As this is not a common occurrence in Guatemala
> and there are no TVI's working outside the school for the blind, she
> and her sister have taken charge of adapting all her daughter's
> materials so she can fully participate. She asked where her sister
> could go to learn Braille and other skills needed to provide support.
> Does anyone know if the Hadley Braille correspondence courses are
> available to people outside the  United States? Or, are there other
> places where somebody could learn Braille in Guatemala? I know there
> might not be the resources for her to obtain a full TVI credential,
> but it seems just knowing how to teach the child Braille is an
> important first step. Thanks for any suggestions.
> 
> Best,
> Arielle
