Literacy is the first and most important step towards the emancipation of an individual, and literacy can rightly be called the foundation of education. Literate individuals can achieve success in education and step into adulthood with excellent competencies for employment, which is almost impossible for individuals with poorly developed or underdeveloped reading and writing skills.
One of the possibilities and basis of written communication for blind and severely visually impaired people is Braille. A good knowledge of Braille opens the door to education, employment and success for visually impaired people.
Assistive technology can be a strong ally in the process of braille literacy for blind and partially sighted people, but it can also facilitate the performance of everyday skills for visually impaired people who already know and use Braille.
