Hi. I know that yesterday when I woke up, before I was out of bed I was
reading my emails and received one from Jennifer, "Learn To Read Braille in
3 Days", I got the kids off to school and planned for 2 hours how I could
take off time, get a room, etc. If we had a one here in Illinois (hopefully
Chicago;) I wouldn't hesitate to go one or three days. So with my overly
winded reply, it would be Braille and how to efficiently begin teaching at
home.
I second IEP trainings, I will usually always jump on the chance to learn
more here also.
