what to do to get my son off to a good start in school. Parents need this
information right from the beginning, when their blind child is a baby.” —Amy Kaiser, Parent of a blind child |
“A much-needed
adjunct to the information shared by a busy Braille teacher...The
Bridge to Braille should be in the hands of every teacher who is
