Our mission at National Braille Press is to put braille into the hands of
blind children and adults to help them live their best lives. The Faces of
Braille is a portrait project that tells the story of 10 of these braille
readers, ranging from 4 years old to 94 years old, who use braille at home,
work, and everywhere in between.

Check out this week's Face of Braille below.

Meet Judy Dixon

Judy Dixon learned braille in first grade. For her, she was just learning
to read braille like sighted children learned to read print. When she got
to high school and then college, she realized the value of braille when
people told her she couldn’t get all of her books in braille. She realized
that braille can be scarce and expensive. After earning her PhD in clinical
psychology, Dixon has spent the last 41 years working for the Library of
Congress. She has written 15 books for braille readers on topics such as
labeling, photography, and audio description. In 2005 she won the Frances
Joseph Campbell Award from the American Library Association. She was chair
of the Braille Authority of North America, before becoming the president of
the International Council on English Braille.

*“If blind people want to keep braille, we have to fight for it.”*

With the right tools, anything is possible.  Give the gift of braille
literacy to put blind children on the path to literacy and give them the
tools they need to live their most successful lives.
