Braille Is Beautiful, and Braille Is Literacy | By Dr. Kirk Adams | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op https://drkirkadams.com/braille-is-beautiful-braille-is-literacy/ Kirk Adams argues braille is not an enrichment activity but literacy itself, and that the right principle is not braille or technology but braille and technology. Then he fact-checks his own side: the familiar 10% claim rests on a 1979 report, and the 90% employment figure on a 1996 study of 74 adults. #Braille #DisabilityRights #DisabilityCommunity #BlindCommunity
