From renee wolf to Host and panelists: I missed the first few minutes of today. what is the name of the book?

From Rebecca Weber to Everyone: I agree that braille should be fun and meaningful to the student. I think we should reframe from saying braille is a superpower because it almost views a student's access as super natural rather than being essential for literacy. These are just my thoughts as a blind adult.
