Derby students learn about blindness, history of Braille

On Wednesday afternoon I attended a program presented by Ellen Bedford, a retired Derby teacher of the visually impaired.

She spoke to third graders at Bradley Elementary School in Derby about the challenges faced by the blind, and taught them about the use of Braille.

 

Mary Montini, 8, checks out a book printed in Braille and regular type.

Stay tuned for a story in the paper about the presentation in the near future.
