Introduction
In the fall of 2003 the Visually Impaired Preschool at the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and Blind offered an 8-week literacy class for families of young children who are potential braille readers. This course was the starting point for the development of this web site.
Dr. L. Penny Rosenblum and Mrs. Susan Greer wrote an article about the Dots for Families class.
