Braille Literacy
Braille literacy refers to the ability to read and write using the Braille system, a tactile writing system developed by Louis Braille in the 19th century. It consists of raised dots arranged in cells, allowing individuals who are blind or visually impaired to access written information. Learning Braille is essential for education, employment, and independent living.
Achieving Braille literacy can significantly enhance the quality of life for those with visual impairments. It enables them to read books, labels, and signs, fostering greater independence and participation in society. Programs and resources are available to support the learning of Braille for all ages.
