An earlier message on the NIFL-ESL listserv was from a program in Washington state that serves ONLY ESL learners with visual limitations. Here is her contact information: Sylvie Kashdan Instructor/Curriculum Coordinator KAIZEN PROGRAM for New English Learners with Visual Limitations 810-A Hiawatha Place South Seattle, WA 98144, U.S.A. phone: (206) 784-5619 email: kaizen_esl@literacynet.org web: http://www.nwlincs.org/kaizen/ Contact Reading for the Blind and Dyslexic also to see what support they can offer in the way of ESL texts on media. And the Kurzweil reader ( a commercial software program loaded into a computer with a scanner) will read any kind of text to a learner. Also, contact the Perkins Institute in Boston to see if they have any kind of support. I am sure others on the list must know of braille-associated programs or equipment that would be of help-- Rochelle-- what about that great school in St. Augustine that was part of that conference we had there??

Hi, A blind adult ESL student enrolled in one of our programs in DC. I'm wondering if there are organizations that might be more equipped to serve her needs. If not, does anyone have any tips and strategies? Thanks in advance for any ideas! Cesar E. Watts G. READ OUT LOUD Hotline Coordinator 1-866-732-3688 www.readoutloud.org www.dclearns.org The D.C.
