Texas:
"PRIOR is a pathway into literacy, the system helps the child to understand the shape the braille dots in the cell make."
Northampton:
"Being able to use PRIOR has reassured the family that the child is making progress."
Liverpool:
"By just learning the shapes, even if a learner does not go on to learn contractions, they will be able to be familiar with shapes of letters and may recognise these in places such as lifts."
Boulder Colorado:
"I think the whole Prior learning system is fantastic and will help many young people and their families. I think it will help teachers who are not trained in visual impairments to become familiar with grade 1 braille too."
Northampton:
"I had children who cognitively could learn braille as they had shown phonic awareness etc, showing they could have an understanding of a reading/writing system like braille, but there needed to be something between the steps of pre-braille and braille. So far PRIOR seems to be filling that gap! I am so pleased I found it as now I feel I can meet the needs of the children I couldn't before."
Rotherham Yorkshire:
"Very young children can learn the shapes as part of tactile skill learning and move onto Braille due to the direct link."
Northampton:
"I am so excited to use PRIOR, I have felt like I was letting my learner down by not being able to find the right way forward for them.."
Sussex:
"Without this systematic approach I think our student could be provided with tactile experiences, but this would not have been as systematically progressive and well-considered."
St Helens:
"The prior system appears to be a system that can be used with all pupils even those without any visual impairment. I think this would aid inclusion."
Northamptonshire:
"I was happy to be introduced to the system. Particularly as it seemed to come at exactly the right moment, when we were looking for something meaningful for our student to learn, with long term benefits."
North West:
"When I was learning pre braille skills I it was very much focused on the learning and there wasn't really a play element. I might have learned more quickly or been more willing to learn if it had been more engaging."
Liverpool:
"The PRIOR learning system can definitely help aid independence for learners who have visual impairments to be able to read and write on their own from an early age. It can allow them to transition into braille easier and quicker which will impact their lives from a young age and provide them with these skills that they need. It can allow them to have equal opportunities and have independence in many aspects of their lives. It could allow non verbal children to be able to read and write and communicate their needs from an early age or even provide an easier transition for young people or adults who may have developed a visual impairment and need pre-braille skills."
