Hi Tarynn: glad you want to learn Braille, but I don't think it is
for everyone. My experience tells me that those who read large print
and try later on to learn braille are usually poor readers in both
modes. However, if the prognosis for continuing vision is poor, then,
by all means, braille should be offered. I wish you were right. Most
of the kids we are seeing at this school are multi-handicapped blind
kids, with mental deficiencies. Sure makes teaching challenging. Glad
to hear from you, and the very best of luck in your studies. Warmest
regards Stew
