“Braille is read by passing one's fingertips over characters made up of an arrangement of one to six embossed points. The relative positions of these points represent different alphanumeric characters. Braille can be written with a Braillewriter (similar to a typewriter) or by using a pointed stylus to punch dots through paper using an instrument called a Braille slate, which has rows of small cells in it as a guide.3 Braille has since been adapted to almost every known language and is an essential tool for blind people everywhere.” - Roth and Fee 2011
