Braille shows that it is an effective tool to use at home, school, establishments, workplace and everywhere. People of different ages who are blind are learning to read and write using braille. Can a teacher recommend an instruction or teach Braille for students who are deaf or with a hearing loss and associated with a little blindness?

i would say yes on the condition that "someBlindness' is present in the student. the condition may become progressively worse as time goes on so the extra training in Braille would be beneficial. Again this issue should be brought to the IEP committee for further scrutiny. By making it an official objective in the students IEP should make it feasable for the student to undertake.

The presentation was very interesting and well presented. I was amazed at the simpleness of the dots but I dont know if I would be able to memorize them all. I tried to feel the dots on an elevator braille pad and could just not make out the feeling. As to your question. I would think so as the teacher is one of the people expected to be knowledgeable on the subject for her particular student.
Hi:
If the individual has limited hearing and vision, the question becomes which manner of instruction should be primary -- Braille or ASL? Ideally instruction in both systems opens up lots of opportunities for communication and interaction.
I guess I don't have an answer. Does anyone else?

I believe that it can be taught, but like Pat commented, there should be some sort of vision impairment as well. It is a very sensitive subject. Good luck on finding out. That was just my opinion.

Specialaize training first is needed for teachers because not all SPED teachers can read braille. Identified braille teachers should be resourced into the students weekly schedule for this to happen.
