1. The most important medium used in education today is the printed word. Knowledge is preserved
in books and the first step in education is learning to read. But a blind man cannot read a book is he
then to be denied to the opportunities to educate himself? No, not necessarily. The blind can get
themselves educated, not only in the sense of being able to read and write but even in the sense of
training themselves for a profession. Teachers of the blind have devised methods by which the blind
can read books without the aid of the eyes.
2. The most famous of these methods is undoubtedly, Braille. Braille is a system of representation of
printed symbols by raised dots on a flat surface. Six dots in various combinations are used to represent
letters, numbers, punctuation marks and some common words. The blind person reads the book by
passing his fingers over the dots. Thousands of blind people all over the world have used Braille to
educate themselves,
3. Braille, however has a disadvantage ie. the book of Braille is not so compact or handy as the book
you are now holding. A small book in Braille may be several feet high. The size makes it difficult for
people to use Braille as easily as printed books. The physical effort and the cost of publishing books
in Braille are two other limitations. In a survey of blinds it was found that less than 15% of the users
of Braille had sufficient command of the alphabet to make reading useful or entertaining. To
overcome these difficulties a new method has been introduced in recent times.
