Get ready for a summer full of learning, creativity, and fun! Our Beginning Braille Explorers program, scheduled for June 23rd to 25th, is designed for school-aged youth ages 6 and up. Through playful and tactile exploration, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of uncontracted braille in an engaging and supportive environment. This hands-on experience encourages curiosity and builds early literacy skills, helping young learners become more confident and comfortable with braille as they begin their journey in accessible reading.
