Going Dotty Over Braille

Season 1 Episode 510 | Posted on: July 12, 2023

Episode Description

Today on the show, Steven and Shaun talk about Braille and Steven’s dive into the world of dots. The pair chat about the benefits of learning Braille and why hard copy Braille is better in the early years of learning as opposed to using Braille displays. Steven also shares his thoughts on the best ways to get started in learning and Shaun questions why there are so few resources to get started.

There are also lots of comments around the unofficial "Grade 3" Braille code and chats about how useful it really can be, plus there is sympathy from listener Harry for Mary’s query about making Braille cells larger and more spaced apart. And our good friend Greg from Pennsylvania chimes in with his thoughts on the subject of blind pride - is that really a thing?
