New Braille Tech

We've been given a new braille display to learn to use. It's the Focus 40 Blue Braille Display from Freedom Scientific...

It's an amazing little machine! So, I've been learning how to navigate it to better support my student who is learning to use it with his new laptop.

I've created a large laminated mapping picture of the braille display and added braille labels to help learning the function of each of the buttons on the new machine. Little steps will help learning this machine.

Stunning Hoarfrost

This morning there was a thick fog everywhere and it caused a deposit of needle-like ice crystals to form on everything because of  the condensation and temperatures below freezing point.

It was so beautiful I just wanted to share...

 

Tactile Journal Binder

Last week I created a new journal binder for a student with a visual disability. He told me his idea from the material we had on hand. I then hot glue gunned his lay out all down.

The binders must be very textural, visually appealing doesn't matter when creating these.

This was the previous journal binder...

 

 He was hungry for some spaghetti and meatballs....

So much fun to create these!!
