Description

The Braille Training Program for Lighthouse employees who are blind or visually impaired is continually evaluated to assess if student goals and objectives are being met through the training that is provided. Braille Training curriculum at Seattle Lighthouse centers on the McDuffy Reader, by Sharon L. M. Duffy.  The McDuffy Reader is a manual for teaching braille to adults who are blind or have low vision, and is a program offered by The National Federation of the Blind. The Seattle Lighthouse also has a Braille Blazers Reading Club, that gathers weekly to read articles on current events in braille. This group exercise helps braille learners practice in a relaxed group setting, maintaining and polishing their growing braille skills. In addition, the Lighthouse provides Braille Training Weekends off-site to encourage new learners in a group setting, to get an introductory overview to Braille in a supportive environment.
