Where’s the best place for a blind preschooler
and kindergartner to go to school?
How about a small town school in the sparsely
populated mountains of Montana? Seems
unlikely, but even a small town can do it right
given the ingredients of a cooperative school
district, committed and resourceful parents, a
competent Braille teacher, good information
about blindness, and a supportive network of
parents and blind adults. So far, all these ingredients
have come together in just the right mix
for six-year-old Hannah of Lima, Montana.
With a firm foundation in academic and social
skills, Hannah is on grade-level with her peers
and is ready and eager to start first grade this
fall.
