Description

 

In the modern inclusive classroom, Braille is key to a vision impaired
student's reading and writing skills, enabling them to master the rules of
spelling, punctuation, grammar in a script created for them to access text,
mathematics, music, and other information. On the show this week we speak
with NCBI staff about the work they are doing to support students learning
Braille in education and hear from several experienced Braille users who
provide us with an insight into the empowering role that learning Braille
has played in their lives.

 

Did you know that Braille music was invented along with the literary braille
code by Louis Braille, who was himself an accomplished musician? Also on the
show we take a journey through the history, development and uses of Braille
music.
