Hi Monica,
check out
www.aerbvi.org for universities who have Vision programs.
Which of course offer Braille as one of their courses.
Your daughter in in Pennsylvania, Kutztown University, University of Pitt,
and Pennsylvania College of Optometry all offer braille as courses to be
taken, and PCO I believe is distance ed.
If that avenue doesn't work, try the Hadley school for the Blind
www.hadley.edu
They offer high school credit for some classes and CEUs for others, so worth
checking into.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Learning Braille Online
Does anyone know if there is a way to study Braille Online as a credit
course for college? My daughter, who has low vision, and uses audio/print,
would like to continue learning Braille. She almost finished Grade 2, is
good at Brailling what she knows, but poor and slow at reading. Her small,
liberal arts college in rural Pennsylvania will accept a foreign language
transfer credit from another institution of higher learning. She wants to
try and convince them to accept Braille because she needs it and because the
foreign language instruction she's had in the past has been really
incompatible with both her way of learning and the materials she has
available.
Thanks,
Monica Ballard
