An introductory course for parents & loved ones
Connect with your visually impaired child, family member, or friend in a whole new way. This 8-week remote course will give you a strong foundation in the Unified English Braille Code.
Last summer, a former student's mother reached out hoping to learn Braille. It was the first time a parent had ever asked. Over several weeks at the library, her home, and on virtual calls, she learned half the alphabet and gained real confidence in reading and writing Braille. Her curiosity and determination inspired this course, so more families can share that same experience.
