Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind, addressed staff at the Library of Congress today focusing on the need for digital information to be made available to the blind. The NFB and the ACB filed suit against Arizona State University to prevent discrimination towards blind students. Studies have been done showing that only ten percent of blind children are taught Braille. I can tell you this that when my children who are sighted went to school if they were not taught how to read and write, I would have been in the school office demanding that the practice of not teaching reading and writing be changed. |
