Braille Literacy: Friends and Mentors, a Florida Story

July 27, 2009

http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/111838

If it was up to you to teach legally blind children, would you insist that
they use their remaining vision as much as possible, even if it meant that
they were functionally illiterate and one day they would walk in front of a
truck with their young child? Or, would you want to give them the tools and
awareness to become successful adults who could function independently and
safely? The answer may seem obvious, but thousands of America's blind kids
are being forced to settle for a substandard education, leading to lives of
dependence with little chance for employment and unnecessary danger. Jody
Ianuzzi is a Major in the Civil Air Patrol and a marshall arts instructor.
Along with her friend Debbby Bracket, who holds a master's in early
childhood education, she is changing what it means to be blind.
