[NABS-L] Is Braille Overrated?

[Sarah Jevnikar]

I'm so bored of this debate! Braille is a tool like any other: necessary in
the beginning but one of many later on. Why do people still feel the need to
say it's useless?

Though truthfully I didn't see exactly how important it was until I met an
eight-year-old who used more audio than Braille and was functionally
illiterate... That reinforced to me why it's so critical.

Dear Students,

I hope all of you are doing well.  Yesterday my dad met a blind student who
came into his office to pay their tuition during the afternoon rush.  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?

Sincerely,

Roanna Bacchus
