Providing a Braille Refresher Course for Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments.

Allman, Carol B.; Holbrook, M. Cay

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v93 n12 p770-77 Dec 1999

This article describes a Braille refresher course for Florida teachers that was created in response to concerns about Braille literacy reflected in "Braille bills" in many states. Analysis of pre- and post-test data showed that the 77 teachers improved their Braille skills and reported a high level of confidence in their Braille skills as a result of the course. (DB)
