Our presentation is about a project exploring accessibility for blind people. We visited a public library to learn about resources for visually impaired patrons, such as braille books and computers with adaptive software. We also interviewed students at a school for the blind to understand their experiences and tools like braille keyboards and magnifying glasses. In conclusion, we learned that reading is an essential part of everyday life and modern society should make information accessible for all people regardless of vision abilities.

5. Our theme : Talking about people who can’t read
like us …

6. Why did we chose this topic ?
Well, it's because we thought this theme very exciting and
because we didn’t know a lot of things about it … So it was an
opportunity to learn a lot of new things .

7. Our visit to the Library
For more information, we went to “ La mediatheque du 8ème “ a public library
situated not far from our school in our district . In Lyon , there are about ten public
libraries , one in each district . Six of them have a section for visually-impaired or
blind people .The central Library in La Part Dieu , in particular , is equipped with
several computers and very modern equipment like braille display , which use very
sophisticated software .
Eigth District’s Library Library «La Part Dieu »

8. There we met a liberian who showed us books
in braille language :

9. There are more books for child than books for adults , so
adults have to listen their books on CDs . Books in braillle are
very expensive and they are more big than normal books .

10. The assistant also showed us a room equipped with computers
adapted for partially-sighted people .

11. He showed us recorded books on
CD :

12. At the City René-Pellet :

13. We met visually impaired students
ans interviews them :
 We ask them some question like :
 It is your font size ?
 Do you use special software?
 Do you like to reading ?
 What do you like to read?
 Are you in the boarder Cite Rene Pellet?
 Ect …

14. Their tools :
Writing machine
It is very seldom used because
few pupil cornbread the Braille
letter
Specialized
keyboard
This is a keyboard connected to
the computer again it is little
used
Magnifying glass
Magnifiers allow students to
read "normally"

15. What we conclued :
 Reading is not just enjoying a story in a book or an article
in a magazine ….Reading is everywhere in our lives , at
home in the morning when the coffee machine tells us
on its screen is ready to make an expresso , or on the
metro , when the screen of our mobile informs us of a
message .
 In fact reading is an essential part of our everyday life ,
wherever we are : -at home , at work , in the street , in
shops …..

16. More …
 That is why it’s necessary in modern society to make things as easy
as possible for partially-sighted or blind people , so that they may
have a normal life.
 The first difficulty partially-sighted people have to have to face
when they leave home is transport , how they can get to their
destination . In the Lyon streets most crossroads are equipped with
sound signals , which are auditive messages . At metro stations the
buttons in the lifts are in two languages , in letters and in braille . In
shops , more and more products are packagesd with braille signage
on them .
