List Information

List Name: R-Squared

Purpose: The purpose of R-Squared is to provide a forum for people conducting and concerned with non-medical research and the research agenda in the field
of blindness/visual impairment. This site will foster an online intellectual community that unites researchers and consumers of blindness/visual impairment
services who use the results of research, who wish results were more usable, or who want to understand better how research decisions are made. We envision
discussions that range from research in planning or early stages, to input about research ideas and collegial critique of ongoing research, to the development
of original, collaborative projects, all with the goal of enhancing the research dimension of service delivery, policy-making, and public education.

List Information

List Name: For Questions/Discussion About Braille Instruction (brlhelp-afb)

Purpose: The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) National Literacy Center provides information, resources and one-on-one support for all teachers of
braille, and for those teachers who have students in their classrooms that read braille. We have established brl-help, an Internet mail list discussion
group to promote discussion and share ideas about braille instruction.

This mailing list is open to all people who wish to ask specific questions about braille instruction or the students to whom they teach braille; to respond
to requests for information; to share successful strategies that have worked in teaching braille; and to discuss resources and materials that are available.
We welcome input from special education and rehabilitation teachers of braille, preschool and general education teachers of children who are blind or visually
impaired, parents and other family members of blind individuals, and anyone else who is interested in promoting braille instruction.
