Extraordinary People – The boy who sees without eyes [2/5]

February 27, 2010 - 2:36 pm 25 Comments

This is a documentary about a boy (Ben Underwood) who has taught himself to use echo location to navigate around the world. Ben Underwood is blind, but has managed to do some truly extraordinary feats.

I’ve cut this documentary up into 5 parts, and all can be found in my profile, or below.

[Part 5] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNkJ1diTxOE (05:12)

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! Ben is quite incredible!

Enjoy!

did louis braille win any awards for his acheivements?

Yes, I think he received the Golden Stylus Award.

Just kidding.

I don’t think so, although there is an award named for him.

Why does a drive through ATM have braile on it?

Although we’d assume a driver could help the blind passenger with an ATM transaction, the ADA said it was not allowed because this didn’t give the blind person complete and independent access to the ATM. How weird.
