Braille Special Symbols 2 - Special Punctuation

Hadley presents Braille Special Symbols, Workshop 2, Special Punctuation.

First, make sure you have your braille workbook with you. If you don't already have one, call Hadley at 847-784-2816, and we'll mail one right out to you.

Let's learn more about special symbols. Feel the braille in the top-left corner of the page. These are the opening and closing single quotation marks, the opening and closing square brackets and the opening and closing curly brackets. They're shown in this workshop with the full cell because these symbols always have letters, words, numbers or other symbols between them.

Above the middle line are three rows of braille. Let's read them together.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you, and don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we're just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus it connects you to the Hadley community and help sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to experts like me. Now, where were we?
