ABOUT BRAILLE SCRIPT

WHERE DOES BRAILLE COME FROM?

• Braille was adopted by France as the official communication system for the blind in 1854, a year after Louis passed away. Braille was introduced to Britain in 1861, and was eventually adapted to the English language in 1902, but not adopted as the official way for English, blind people to communicate until 1918.

• As a Braille reader, I strongly believe that Braille is and will always be important. It allows those of us who can’t see to be literate and connect to the world, just like print does the same for people with sight. I also strongly support assistive technology, and hope that it will continue promoting the use of Braille.

Do all people who are blind know Braille?

• YES.

• NONE.

• NO.

• In the United States alone, it is estimated that only about 10 percent of people who are blind know the system. The exact number is uncertain, but a study from the National Federation for the Blind estimates that in the case of school-aged children, only 10 percent are taught Braille. This is due to a variety of factors, including a lack of teachers, increased use of audio books and technology, and difficulties mastering the system because of things like additional disabilities. Still, many people learn basic Braille symbols in order to be able to read signs and label things.
