1. Why is it important for me to learn braille?

2. Should I encourage my other children to learn braille?

3. Why should my child learn braille now that there are so many options for retrieving information through speech (tape recorded books, talking computers, voice activated writing programs)?

4. I’m worried about what will happen when my child grows up. braille is not available in most offices. Won’t this limit what my child can do?

5. Who will teach braille reading and writing to my child?

6. My child can read print if it is very big. Why is his vision teacher encouraging us to teach him braille?

7. Can a child read both braille and print?

8. I’m afraid my child will lose his optical aids. What can we do to prevent this?
