There are many different types of visual impairments or problems. I wish Jodi had a guide dog like some other people who are blind have. She says that when she gets older she might go to the guide dog training center and get one. Then she and her dog would go everywhere together - shopping, to the movies, even to college. Jodi is in my class at school and also gets help from special teachers to practice things like reading and writing in braille.
Braille is a special alphabet for people who are blind.
It's made up of raised dots. The letter 'J' looks like this but in real braille you can feel the dots. Jodi's special teacher showed us computers for people who are blind that print out braille dots instead of regular letters. There are also computers and typewriters that say the words out loud like a robot. Jodi gets to use them.
