About this service
In a high-tech world, some people may wonder if braille is still relevant. Why would a person who is blind read a large braille book when there are audiobooks?
Do we still need braille? We say yes.
Wed never tell a sighted six-year-old they dont need to learn to read because theres TV and audiobooks. Why is it any different for kids who are blind?
Braille literacy is as crucial as ever. While listening to a screen reader is a great help for many people impacted by blindness, there are times when it isn't an appropriate or available option. The independence of reading a braille agenda in a meeting, floors on elevator buttons, signs, menus even a letter in privacy shows how relevant braille remains today.
