Stories from the 'Planet of the Blind!'
As a Special Education teacher, I was contacted by our district's Special Education Director to see if I'd be interested in becoming aVI teacher? A what? was my reply. After much praying and researching the idea, I totally agreed to going back to school to become a Certified Teacher for the Visually Impaired. I did not realize what a ride I was in for.
After learning braille during a short 6 weeks time in the middle of summer while trying to teach summer school, I took on many more courses; each more exciting than the last. I was then "emergency certified" so I could begin immediately the awesome task of teaching children braille. What a sweet time it has been. With many ups and downs, I have learned so much from my students. Each one has their own, unique story to add to the previous one!
Thank you for making braille so available in such a "fashionable" way. I can't wait to order something for myself. Hmmmmmmm what should it be?
Blessings to you and yours,
Kathy Britsch
