. . . she overcame obstacles and earned her high school diploma
Stephanie Leason, who was born with Retinitis pigmentosa and has been blind since birth, earned her high school diploma from The Hadley School for the Blind in 2011. Stephanie found school difficult, as many of the materials were not accessible to her, and teachers often were not knowledgeable about how to adapt lessons. Stephanie found Hadley courses to be challenging and informative. She especially enjoyed the courses in which she learned to use the Nemeth Code, the braille math code. Stephanie is very proud of her high school diploma. She plans to pursue a career as a writer or a judge, and she is confident that her education at Hadley has prepared her for the future. “Earning my diploma through Hadley means so much to me. I feel like I can accomplish whatever I put my mind to.”
