Sight By Touch

SIGHT BY TOUCH features several blind and sight impaired participants who show the value of Braille as a means to independence, education, literacy and opportunity. Invented by Louis Braille, himself blinded at the age of 3, braille is a system of six basic dots formed into a basic cell and then combined with other cells to form words. Adaptation of modern technology enables the blind and sight-impaired to work on a par with sight-possessing colleagues. Braille should be encouraged and not be allowed to stagnate. Its technology is an adjunct, not a substitute and the future can be approached with optimism. ÒAccess to communication in the widest sense is access to knowledge and it is vitally important for us if we are not to go on being despised and patronized by condescending sighted people. We do not need pity, nor do we need to be reminded that we are vulnerable. We must be treated as equals and communication is the way we can bring this about.....Louis Braille
