Hello


I'm a parent of a severely visually impaired 4 year old


I'm interested in whether there are any parents of children with severe VI that are successfully usingbraille at primary school.


We have been advised that our daughter will probably require Braille and may be able to access print.


This is a controversial area and there is a lot of debate at the moment in the VI community about the limitations of technology in becoming fully literate for children with severe VI but some functional vision. It seems that the speech to text software and iPad magnification do not lead to proficient literacy and more and more VI adults are wishing they had learned Braille.


Interested in hearing from anyone about this


Many thanks

    • I attended the first 1 hour online session. Not a conversation at all. This is a good summary: https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/performative-chaotic-desperate-dfes-national-send-conversation/
    • Are these people connected to Reform? I googled what you googled, and I couldn't see anything about that? 
    • Are the collectors on M&S property?  Iirc it's previously been their practice to be on a shop's premises, even with permission, so as to avoid any action against them for street collecting.  If so now, I think it would be for the shop to tell them to leave and enforce their doing so.  I think in theory the police can be asked to come along and stand by in case of any resulting violence or breach of the peace from the collectors.
    • I googled “We R Blighty investigation” and well.  Wow  also reform are massively ahead in the polls People need to start calling out people for what they are and stop pretending reform, the flag hangers and related charities are somehow a normal political party/movement   dark forces are rising
