My niece who was born blind is 5 years old and attending pre-school in a very small public school in northern MN. They haven't even begun teaching her Braille. It is very frustrating to hear and see the lack of progress that goes on. My sister has spoken to the school and the county and the resources are so limited. I feel so helpless. Any advice?
Yes definitely look into schools for the blind in your state. Here in Indiana Bosma Enterprises http://www.bosma.org/ is a great resource to find more information about creating opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

ReplyDeleteYou can always try the School for the Blind and see if they have an outreach program in your city/town.
