Foundational Braille (pre-Braille) skills – Online

Learning braille can open up a whole world of opportunities, information and pleasure – it’s all about access.  However, before you start the business of learning the intricacies of all those dots it helps to refine gross and fine motor skills as well as being able to use a light touch.  These don’t just happen of their own accord or overnight, especially if you are learning braille because of sight loss – as a teenager, say.  This session will give ideas linked to foundational braille (pre braille) and how to make learning these skills fun and incidental.

 We welcome questions in advance but there will also be the opportunity to ask questions throughout, via the ‘Chat’ function of Teams.
