Setup with instructions This set is an optional extra for a larger braille program, so it makes the most sense when someone follows the program's Unit 6 guidance. A parent or teacher can get it going with that written guidance, with no professional setup. A teacher of students with visual impairments can still help fit it to the child's pace.
