[NABS-L] Is Braille Overrated?

[Zachary N. Griego-Dreicer]

Braille is very much necessary. I think that it must be kept up with so that blind people like you and die can accomplish daily activities of living and maintain a much-needed system of communication, because that is our basis of all written communication.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

He told my Dad that he tells people that braille is overrated.  I think it is importat for all blind children to learn to read and write braille.  The use of braille is essential for both personal academic and employment success.  What are your thoughts on this?
