Over the past 40 years, Daphne enjoyed working with low vision and braille reading students, ages 4-19, in BC and Alberta. She contributed to the development and delivery of many braille literacy projects, including BC’s Early Literacy for the Visually Impaired, Braille Pre-School Story Kits and Braille Bites. Having seen the power of braille literacy, Daphne continues to be passionate about the importance of braille for everyday routines and the availability of braille in the community. Now retired, she enjoys mentoring teachers of visually impaired and being actively involved with Braille Literacy Canada.
