12. Why he invented braille
system????
– Braille was determined to fashion a system of reading
and writing that could bridge the critical gap in
communication between the sighted and the blind. In his
own words: "Access to communication in the widest
sense is access to knowledge, and that is vitally
important for us if we [the blind] are not to go on being
despised or patronized by condescending sighted
people. We do not need pity, nor do we need to be
reminded we are vulnerable. We must be treated as
equals – and communication is the way this can be
brought about."

18. Nemeth Braille
Many years ago there was a blind man named Abraham Nemeth who wanted to
go to college and take math classes. He needed a way to write math problems
in braille. The literary braille code, the one we use for words, let him write
numbers, but there weren't braille characters for writing symbols we use in math
like a "+" sign or a "÷" sign nor were there characters for writing really hard
math problems or ones that had both letters and numbers in them like 4x – (7x
+ 5) = or ones with exponents like 102 × 12 = so he invented his own braille
code. It was named after him, just like Louis Braille had the literary code
named after himself.
Braille readers use the Nemeth code when they are in math class. You've
learned that in the literary braille code the numbers are written by putting a
number sign in front of the first 10 letters of the alphabet. In Nemeth code
we do the same thing, but the numbers are "dropped". They are in the
bottom part of the braille cell.

27. How is braille taught???
– How is Braille Taught?
– At the Royal Blind School in Edinburgh pupils start to learn Braille by strengthening
their
– fingertips. Students play with items such as macaroni and peas in a tray and try to sort
– them using their fingertips. They then progress to learning Braille that is taught by
their
– teachers, printing their own stories on Brailling machines. Finally as teenagers they can
– progress to Braille notebooks that are a really fast and professional means of writing
and
– transcribing Braille.
