"The most rewarding thing about teaching blind students is helping students reach their goals. With each achievement, students gain confidence, independence, and a motivation to meet and succeed future challenges. When a student with a visual impairment completes a task they never thought they could, they begin defeating the belief that vision is necessary for success."
--Katherine Russell, Salus University
"One trick-of-the-trade for learning Braille is practice, practice, practice, then practice some more."
--Gillian Pilcher, George Mason University
"The most challenging thing about teaching blind students is changing stereotypes or false beliefs about individuals who are blind and ending low expectations that limit their potential."
