About this ebook
Louis Braille, the French educator and inventor, revolutionized accessibility for the visually impaired by developing the Braille system of reading and writing. Born in 1809 in Coupvray, France, Braille lost his sight at a young age due to an accident. This biography traces his journey to the Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris, where he became determined to improve communication for the blind. Inspired by a military code, Braille created a tactile system using raised dots to represent letters and numbers, which he published in 1829. Despite initial resistance, his invention gradually gained acceptance and transformed education and literacy for the blind community worldwide. This book celebrates Braille's perseverance, innovation, and the profound impact of his legacy, which continues to empower millions by providing independence and access to knowledge.
