Braille Passion

Special writing aids help visually impaired people write in straight lines, while Braille and large-print and audio-cassette books help them read and write.

Writing in cursive can also improve your brain function. In school, writing in cursive helps

If a person can’t see they find a way to function through the day with a Seeing Eye dog or reading with Braille knowledge, and if a person is unable to hear they are able to function at a very high level through the use of sign language and reading lips.

Everybody has many experiences when growing up. We absorb an amazing amount of information and learn many skills in that time. During this time, our skills develop, and we may succeed in some areas or be unsuccessful in others. This idea could be applied to myself, which includes the ability to properly speak, a struggle with writing, and a surprising success in reading.

Deaf-blind can also use a screen Braille communicator, a small portable device that enables them to communicate with sighted people. Alternate communication is print on palm, the person communicating with the deaf-blind person prints large block letters on the other persons hand. Each letter is written in the same location on the persons hand. This is a way for the deaf-blind to communicate with the public.

As vital organ of vision, the eye, allows us to learn more about the world around us more than any other organ or senses. Sight, the physical sensory experience and vision, the metaphysical concept of how our brain interprets images both work harmoniously and play a huge role in our everyday lives. However, almost a billion people are either blind or visually impaired simply due to not having a pair of glasses. Being able to lead people in the direction of good vision is what developed my interests.

Braille – This is helpful for blind people to be able to read and understand what they may need to read or even to communicate to people if they are also blind. There are lots of items that come in braille now.

Many people make an assumption they are not blind to life itself whether ignorance plays a part or pride. In Cathedral by Raymond Carver, it describes a few myths that society has portrayed and opinions of the visual impaired. The main focus is getting to know the person before drawing a conclusion. Its not fair to anyone to be neglected whether you are visual impaired or have the functionality of what is considered to be a normal human being.

Being blind or partially sighted means losing the ability to see facial expressions and gestures making it difficult for the person to understand what is being communicated. Not being able to read

With this system blind people can read by running their fingers across the dots, and can write by impressing the raised dots into paper using a frame called Braille slate, or a Braille writer.

Who else can there be? Helen Keller, the amazing author who was both blind and dead at 19 months old. She lives most of her life struggling and stressing out, not being able to do much. She was the first disable person to graduate school and even received a Bachelor of Art Degree. But she didn’t do it all alone. Her teacher, Anne Sullivan, contributed to her success. She taught Helen the manual alphabet, hand writing, and other forms of communication and understanding,"I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name.” Anne and her husband helped Keller with her first book, the autobiography, “The Story of My Life”. After her success, she wrote more books and inspired other disabled people to do things in life and paved a path for

If you couldn’t read or write, how would you tackle your daily life? Being literate is a crucial part of everyone’s life; reading and writing are essential for a person’s success. Every single day, it’s used, whether it’s for an Advanced Placement Language class or reading a billboard as you’re driving past. As a child, I grew up reading on a daily basis and I believe that I am as successful as I am on behalf of it. Countless memories have been created, thanks to the multiple books that have been read and the umpteen amount of papers that I’ve written. Throughout the numerous years of my education, my teachers and parents left a long lasting impact on my reading and writing skills.

In the short story “On being 17, bright, and unable to read” written by author David Raymond, it states that “ I can’t read because I have dyslexia… He graduated Cum Laude in 1981 with a BA in business management”(Raymond 81). This quote means that even when someone has a learning disability, it does not mean that that person cannot do great things. Disabilities like this are one of life's barriers that the people of society have to overcome and find solutions to benefit those who have these blockages.

Louis Braille become blind after accidentally stabbing himself in the eye with a tool. Both his eyes became infected and he couldn’t see at all as a young child in 1814. As a twelve year old he invented braille, a way for the blind to read using raised dots. Later he brought this way of reading to a school for the blind in Paris. The director of the school Dr. Pignier (a supporter of braille who also helped develop braille) was forced to retire. His assistant Pierre-Armand Dufau became the director. Three years later Louis Braille was forced to return to his home town of Coupvray when he came down will tuberculosis. When he returned he found that Dufau had banned all students from reading braille books, and Dufau had burned seventy-three books at the school. Dufau believed that braille gave visually impaired people too much freedom and if it continued there would be no use of seeing teachers at the institute. If not for a few teachers who kept braille books secretly and kept teaching braille to students braille could have disappeared

“Obviously, because of my disability, I need assistance. But I have always tried to overcome my condition and lead as full a life as possible.” Stephen Hawking, who is often regarded as one of the greatest minds in history, did indeed have a severe disability that would have discouraged many from pursuing any type of career, but he did not let his condition stop him from unraveling the mysteries of our world. As he stated, Hawking has always tried to live the fullest life he could, but he could not have done it without the support and assistance of others. Christopher Reeve, another person who did not let his paralysis keep him from achieving great things, wrote a compelling speech that pushed for increased support and assistance for
