The present way of teaching the visually-handicapped was invented by a Frenchman called
Louis Braille who became blind at the early age of three. Before this, books for who were visually-
impaired were written in the usual letters of the alphabet raised up by being pressed from the
wrong side, so that they could be felt with the fingers. But this way was not so good as the present
one. For, unless the letters were fairly large, their shapes could not be felt by the fingers.
Certain signs are used in the dot way or Braille method of writing. The different letters of the
English alphabet are made by changing the positions of the dots.
Young people who do not have sight often learn shorthand nowadays. They can sometimes
take down as many as eighty words a minute. They can also type their notes very quickly. They
can weave mats and do many other things. They can play the harmonium and other musical
instruments. Ray Charles and Steve Wonder could not see but became great musicians. There
are other many useful things that visually-impaired people can do. They can sew, weave, do
needlework, and make paper flowers and baskets beautifully. suggest a topic for summary
