Hi there. Are you in high school or college? If you're in high school, I'd 
bring it up at the next IEP meeting. If you're in college, I'd contact the 
disability support services and again approach your teachers. This shouldn't 
be happening-- explain that in order for you to participate fully in 
classes, you need to have the paperwork in Braille. Explain that you needed 
to be treated as every sighted person in the classroom. You not having your 
paperwork in Braille is a lack f preparedness on the part of the teacher, 
and this is inexcusable. Another option you might want to consider is having 
the teacher email you the assignment ahead of time, you print it out and 
physically walk it over to the disability support services office.
Hope this helps.
Hope and Beignet
