WHEN YOUR VISION NO LONGER WORKS FOR YOU
WE CAN HELP!!!
Can you no longer write and read
your shopping list?
Can you no longer write down an
appointment date?
Can you no longer write down
important phone numbers and addresses?
Do you find yourself waiting for
someone with vision to come help you take care of tasks requiring the ability
to read and write?
Can you no longer write a
delicious recipe your friend told you about?
Are there other reading and
writing tasks you have had to give up because you can no longer see?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, we can help.
The National Federation of the Blind of West Virginia is pleased
to offer free braille training to anyone interested in finding an alternative
way to read and write. The program is
offered on a one-on-one basis. There is
no cost to the student. Training may be
offered in the student’s home or at a designated location agreeable to both the
student and tutor.
The student will receive the following:
Travel money if they travel to the
teacher’s location
Braille instruction book
Slate & stylus (tools used for
writing Braille)
Braille writing paper
This program is designed to offer the individual who can no longer
read and write the freedom to resume these activities.
