Braille, Reading Quote
I was hanging in one of our preschool classes with my new fave preschool teacher, Annie, to co-teach with her. She had a fun lesson for dipping apples into different toppings. We did a quick brainstorm and turned her lesson into a Braille lesson with a few quick changes. Next thing we know, we have this fun ECC lesson and are making Braille sundaes. Annie's lesson started like this: And became an Expanded Core Curriculum lesson: We added an APH tray (any tray will do though) and arrange the toppings into a Braille cell. Easy update! For instruction, we reviewed the Braille cell and the corresponding numbers. For example, (look at the picture above), the chocolate chips are "dot one", the caramel sauce is "dot 2", etc. Students took turns selecting toppings but had to request it by the number (to teach the number configuration of a Braille cell). It was a success! The students did great requesting using the dot numbers. For example, "dot 6, sprinkles".We did a quick but direct instruction on the Braille cell to set the students up for success in the lesson. This wasn't just a Braille lesson though. We incorporated much of the Expanded Core, too! We addressed other areas of the ECC such as: Independent Living Skills: cooking skills at the preschool level Orientation & mobility: positional concepts Self-determination: making choices, trying new things and making opinions about them Social skills: turn taking, eating etiquette and conversation. These were the areas that also received special instruction during this Braille lesson. We had each of these areas in mind during instruction (that's the secret to implementing ECC!). This was a preschool lesson so the whole lesson was about 30-35 minutes. My favorite part: listening to these sweet little preschoolers request their toppings using it as a Braille cell ("dot 2, caramel sauce!").

If you are thinking of making objects around your house accessible for your blind family member or friend, there is a very easy and cost effective way to do it. Every art supplies store has sticky gems – a decorative art accessory that can be used in many art projects. These gems are raised, and have a sticky back, so you can just place them on any surface, and they will stick to it. They are typically round, and can be easily felt when touched. As an example project, I thought of making playing cards accessible by using sticky gems to add braille characters to them, so a blind person could tell what cards they had. I stuck sticky gems in the formation of Braille letters in the upper middle area of the card. The first alphabet is the number (denomination) of the card, and the second is the first letter of the face: 3H (3 of Hearts), 2C (2 of Clubs), etc I also placed a sticky gem on the top left corner of the card so the blind person could understand the orientation of the card. If a single sticky gem was at the bottom right, they were [...]

Here is an introduction to the braille alphabet. It offers information on memorizing the code, a visual of the braille cell, and a page with blank cells that students can fill in to "write" in braille. You could also have students use puffy paint, gems, or any tactile stickers to make it 3D! This can also be used as a resource to teach family members, teachers, and peers of students who are blind. *Reminder: this is only a brief introduction to the braille alphabet and does not include information about contracted braille.
