📅January is National Braille Literacy Month. Created by Louis Braille, born Jan. 4, 1809, the Braille system was revolutionary for the visually impaired. @KyDeptofEd provides students with resources they need to lead successful lives. ℹ️: bit.ly/KyEdVisualImpairmentR… #KyEd

Our braille instructors teach adults braille “by touch” only. If you are sighted and interested in learning braille, many print and online resources can support the learning process! Check out Hadley’s Braille By Sight series. bit.ly/3U2XhpO #BrailleLiteracy
At the top of this image is a picture of two people in front of a notebook. One person is helping to guide the other person's hand while learning braille. At the bottom is text that says "ARE YOU INTERESTED IN LEARNING BRAILLE?" "Hadley's Braille By Sight series is an online tool to learn braille reading and writing".
