Background Knowledge
  • Louis Braille was not born blind. He became blind
    after an accident. He studied at the National
    Institute for Blind Youth in Paris, France. While
    he was there he invented the Braille system of
    printing and writing for the blind. He was only
    15 years old. Even though he had invented it, the
    school didnt start teaching the system until 2
    years after Louiss death. Now all English
    speaking blind people use this system.
