Subject: Braille usage with Dyslexia Author: Ingrid [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:44:21 03/20/05 Sun Has anyone heard of utilizing braille with dyslexics? I was discussing with my 14 year old daughter about the struggles she has with school. She is very bright and learns things very well through observation, touch and feel. She says that when she sees me use my pin she does not see the numbers..it is the pattern she sees. she says she has to feel it, like the braille used on the public restroom doors. I am compelled to explore further into this, as it may be a way for her and others to learn and excel with less frustration. If math, reading, tests are in braille (which would allow her to feel and touch) then it is possible for her to learn and understand the information easier and can apply it. If, my hypothesis of the dyslexic utilizing braille in their curriculumn, is correct then my daughter will achieve academic success through her modality of learning. Blind or low visual people's learning accommondations does not yield them less successful in society. In fact, the accomondations afforded to these individuals helps them to obtain their entitlement to success. Dyslexics, ADDH and ADD are entitled to success also and we must not stop trying to find these accomodations at an affordable cost if not free of charge. Everyone is entitled to the education that they NEED free of charge. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
