[blparent] Braill Clothes for Blind Children and adults

Fri Dec 4 03:52:57 UTC 2015

I also think the earlier suggestions were targeted at being able as a blind parent to independently label the clothing for a visual audience at the school, camp, or other similar place. We widened that original scoop as we spent time on the topic, but I think all the replies have good potential depending on the setting.

Totally understandable, the problem-solving mind-set goes a long way.  I think quite a few of us either have light perception or are totally blind, not sure.

Hello all,

I responded with an idea earlier before seeing this message. I recommended sewing tiny buttons on the articles of clothing. I'm of course assuming the situation involoves someone who's totally blind. My apologies for assuming; I'm totally blind myself and more times than not, I'm always thinking of non-visual means of doing things.
