Braille in the 21st Century
From the website http://www.webchats.tv
Have you ever wondered who created Braille? Or how blind people learn to use this unique form of language in their everyday lives? If so, you should definitely tune into our webchat where we have a very special guest from Royal Blind dropping in to talk about the work they do to enhance the lives of blind people in the UK.
As well as telling us about the first ever National Braille Week Richard Hellewell will also be discussing the unique exercises used in pre-Braille lessons. These include separating dried foods such as peas and macaroni to differentiating shapes and popping bubble wrap to strengthen fingers. All of these small steps soon add up and before long people are reading and typing in the simple six-cell system that makes up Braille.
Youll also get a chance to look at some exclusive footage from a visit to the Royal Blind School a school that is specifically designed for blind and visually impaired children. Pupils can board or simply come on a day-to-day basis, and whilst they are there, they will learn how to read Braille. Although the school is based in Scotland children living in the UK can attend if they get funding from their local authority. This offers young blind people across the UK an unparalleled opportunity to develop their skills.
Youll also pay a visit to Braeside House, a residential home for pensioners who are blind and visually impaired and the Scottish Braille Press, which prints Braille for companies and visually impaired people throughout Britain. So why not submit a question and find out a bit more about this very worthy cause?
