[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Reading Speed Increases

Sat Mar 18 16:38:19 UTC 2023

Chiming in to say that when I was fourteen, I had a two-degree field
with sub-acuity vision and severe sensitivity to glare. They put me in
special ed math classes and gave me five inch tall equations written
in thick black marker on mint green construction paper. I had to put
my face to the paper and trace each leg of every letter and number,
then still lose track of what I was reading. It was horrible. And then
I learned braille.

Suddenly I could do the work faster and better than my sighted peers.
My comprehension was never the problem. The problem was access. ended
up back in general ed, accelerating my math and science programs,
graduating early, and getting a degree in bio-cultural anthropology.
When I went totally blind partway through, it was irrelevant. Then I
continued on and earned a master's in O&M and a doctorate in law.

No one is more of a braille advocate than I am. I just wish I'd
learned sooner and didn't have to develop speed as an adult.
