Join us the second Tuesday of each month (note date changes around holidays) as we answer your questions and provide information and resources aimed at supporting your learner’s needs. Each month will have a specific focus and will be hosted by APSEA staff with the knowledge and/or lived experience to guide a discussion around that month’s topic. Who knows where the conversations will take us, though, so log in each month. You never know what you might learn or the connections you might make!
Facilitators: Sessions will be hosted by various members of our APSEA team and may include invited guests

Join us for a relaxed, conversation-style session focused on tactile learning for children who are blind or visually impaired. This informal gathering gives parents and caregivers space to ask questions, share firsthand experiences, and learn from one another. Facilitators will guide the discussion with thoughtful prompts as needed, helping the group explore how tactile learning, including braille, supports early literacy, concept development, and everyday independence. Come connect, exchange ideas, and build confidence in supporting your child’s tactile learning journey.
