Starting May 8th and 22nd 2018, the Lighthouse will be offering a Braille Lab every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 10:00 AM to 12 PM at 1155 Market Street. San Francisco. The Braille Lab will be open for different levels of braille users, or for someone wanting to explore if Braille is right for them.
These Braille sessions will involve fun, hands-on training with practical applications that are beneficial for daily living activities at home, school and in the work place. Each month will focus on specific braille skills.
Our kick off month will start with “Anything You Want to Know About Braille – Learn its’ history, tactile exercises and introduction to basic braille”. The next months are up to you!
