Blind students in Reference StateSchools-how they learn Braille and view the learning process
|
Hello, everyone!
I �m currently attending a post graduate course related to Blind and Low vision/Visually Impaired Sudents.
I �m doing a work about some state reference schools in Portugal on which blind and visually impaired students attend regular classes.With this purpose I �m going to interview blind students who are learning Braille besides their Regular Teacher and Special Education Teacher. The Director will answer some questions too.I would like to know if someone coukld share their experience in this specific issue-teaching Braille to students, how they learn, etc, their own perception and their schoolfellows attitude....Any help is welcomed!!!
I would very thankful if you could help!:-)
Thanks in advance to this fantastic community! |

hi, portuguese teacher .. in the place where i worked, a teacher had a blind student in a regular class. it needs hard work . i remember that she used to relay on audio materials more .. she used to record herself to help that student ,,, after that experience i found learning braille signs is something necessary ,, so i learnt it. but i didn �t have the chance yet to teach a blind student ... i really wish you best luck ,, |

Thanks, m2m2.It �s really a challenging experience.I �ve already learned the alphabet Braille but there are so many things to do in order to guarantee a good method in the teaching/learning process to blind students.
Where did you work?In a regular school?Tell me more about the experience....:-)
