Edmonds Undressed- Find out all about real estate market

The Louis Braille School

There was a time, not long ago, when most people thought that blind people could never learn to read. People thought that the only way to read was to look at words with your eyes. A young French boy named Louis Braille thought otherwise. Blind from the age of three, young Louis desperately wanted to read. He realized the vast world of thought and ideas that was locked out to him because of his disability. And he was determined to find the key to this door for himself, and for all other blind persons. And he did just that. Today the Louis Braille School located at 10130 Edmonds, Washington. The school  teaches children who are blind or visually impaired, the ages range from kindergarten-eight grade. I had an opportunity to visit the school and speak with Eric Brotman “Director of Development”and staff. The Louis Braille School admits students of any race, color, nationality, and ethic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available to students at the school. They had special guest Curly Cook, former member of the “Steve Miller” band play for the students today. It was fascinating to watch the response as he played and also allowed them to strum his guitar. The students were given percussion instruments to play along and were right on beat. This innovative educational approach creates a positive learning environment for their students and was truly a heart warming experience to watch. Carry on Eric.
