I’m in the middle of the second course for adults. I really love the way it’s put together. The first course focuses on general Braille skills, like finding the Braille on a page, scanning lines, sensing full cells, and learning the easiest letters. The second course is completing the alphabet. They are also starting to use real spacing, which is a little more complicated. I’ve gotten to the point I can read simple words like log, fog, met, etc. It really feels cool when you realize you can read whole words with your fingers.

I took a few lessons but I found that 1 on 1 lessons at my local blind center worked better for me. I lost 75% of my vision in 2015 and although I can see enough to still read print I decided to learn Braille and went to weekly lessons for 2 years but decided to stop in 2017 after my mother passed and I got to the point where I couldn't remember everything. Considering there is a hole in my brain its a miracle I was able to learn as much as I did. I know enough to read signs or menus and I'm happy with that.

I quite liked what I was able to do of the course I took. The only reason I stopped was because I realised I was already reading UEB fine and didn’t actually need to take the full transition course after all.

I did the first course and haven’t had time to start the second but it’s pretty good. A little tedious but you have to get the basics down before you do anything more difficult. Make sure you get an NLS player if you don’t already have one because they send all the directions on a cartridge

Its a great program. I started it but i have nerve damage in my hands and couldnt feel exactly the placement of the dots.

I also would like to know. Pretty much in a similar boat and would like some more information. Also to hear people’s experiences.

I’ve taken other courses from Hadley. It’s been a while though.
