| Braille Institute's Speaker's Bureau is made up of visually impaired students who have become volunteer speakers and staff members who have a particular specialty in serving visually impaired persons. Speakers are available free of charge to any service club or organization, retirement or convalescent home or senior center. To schedule a speaker, please call Community Relations Coordinator Carmen Apelgren at (323) 663-1111, Ext. 1357, or send your request by to: community@brailleinstitute.org If your organization is outside the Los Angeles area, you may also contact the nearest regional center. |

| Technical Advising | |||
| Braille Institute provides technical advice about the portrayal of blind characters for theater, film and television. It is part of our mission of public education to ensure that realistic images of blind people are projected in the media. The institute provides this service free of charge to whomever requests it. Advisors are available to answer questions over the phone or in person, lead VIP tours of Braille Institute, demonstrate access technology and "gadgets," explain and demonstrate the proper use of a white cane, suggest acting techniques and provide guidance on the set. Appointments can be scheduled by calling Community Relations Coordinator Carmen Apelgren at (323) 663-1111, Ext. 1357, or send your request by e-mail to: community@brailleinstitute.org |
