The Possibilities are Endless: Providing Braille Throughout South Carolina was a project that provided information and resources to teachers of children with visual impairments, family members, and others interested in promoting braille literacy and strategies for infusing braille into everyday life. The project team launched the BrailleSC.org web site in 2010. When project funding ended, we were pleased that Paths to Literacy gave our most popular articles a new home. We hope the information in them is valuable to you.
