The Braille You Need, When You Need It: A Special Event for World Braille Day (Episode 58)

from Braillecast · host Braillists Foundation

Braille isn’t just for books! It can also be found on household products and signs; in restaurants, museums and theatres; and your personal and confidential documents can also be sent to you in braille. So how do you find it? Who do you ask? And if you think the braille you’ve found could be improved, how do you make your case without upsetting people? In this special event for World Braille Day, we were joined by a panel of braille advocates to explore these questions and more. We examined when companies are legally required to provide braille, discussed how to encourage the provision of braille and considered how best to respond when braille is not available. On the panel: Connor Scott-Gardner (@catchthesewords) Paul Hopkins (@vipodcasting) Siobhan Meade (@blindgirlvlogs)
