Why is braille literacy important?

Braille literacy is vital for individuals who are blind or visually impaired as it grants them access to written information, fostering independence, education, and employment prospects. By enabling reading and writing, braille facilitates academic success, job opportunities, and effective communication. It empowers individuals to advocate for themselves, engage socially, and navigate daily life with confidence. Moreover, braille literacy stimulates cognitive development in blind children and ensures equal access to information and opportunities. Ultimately, braille serves as a gateway to inclusion, independence, and empowerment for people with visual impairments.
