The Braille Buzz - Apr 21, 2021
April 22, 2021
In this month’s meeting, we will first ask Jane Carona to tell us about her relatively new Humanware 40 character hybrid device. When we covered new note takers last year her device had not yet been released. Now it's out there and she will tell what she likes and what she does not. Secondly, we will discuss ways to become more involved in encouraging braille use. Does mentoring offer an option for us? What is mentoring? How could it help? Can our state chapters and local chapters of ACB become involved? Can we provide mentorship training through community calls? Join us while we explore these two issues and others!
