Braille resources for schools
We've produced a braille education pack to give primary school children the opportunity to learn about the history of Louis Braille and his amazing code.
The pack has been designed to meet the needs of primary school pupils in accordance with National Curriculum key stages 1 and 2 History and the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence.
The ready-to-teach education pack includes information, lesson plans and literacy games about the life and work of the remarkable inventor of braille.
Why not add to the fun by holding a Dotty Day at school when you've completed the education pack?
Mobility and independence assessment scheme for children
Mobility and independence is an assessment and evaluation scheme to help raise the awareness of the importance of mobility education for blind and partially sighted children throughout their lives.
This publication provides a framework that can be used by mobility specialists in collaboration with others to develop a profile of an individual learner who has little or no sight. This profile is to be regularly updated and shared with those who are involved with the learner as parents or carers and professionals working as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
