[blindkid] Braille instruction for 12 year old

[Amber Hall]

She is in. 6 th grade. And at grade level as far as her sighted peers. She is a fast 2 handed Braille reader not sure on words per minute. 
She knows the Braille code with the exception to symbols she encounters occasionally. Especially in math. 
Hope this helps.

>> I'm having issues with my 12 year old daughters VI teacher wanting to dwindle her Braille instruction time to nothing. 
>> we had our case conference in March and it was to my understanding she would be in for 20 minutes a day. It's not a lot but hard to find any other time to pull her out of class. 
>> The problem is the 20 minutes is either being missed, used to give a test/ istep, or to come by and say " how r u doing? Are u having any problems? " To my daughter. 
>> Can any TVI 'a on here give me some things she can work on with my daughter? I feel like my problem is her missing or not using the time. But my daughter isn't having any issues right now. My first thing to say was a the things blind kids can't see that sighted kids get by looking at it, could b touched on. 
>> It just stresses me out, knowing she could b challenged instead of " getting by". 
>> Any comments  or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
