| Summary: |
Louis Braille was born on
January 4th 1809 in Coupvray, France. An injury to his
eye at the age of three, resulted in total loss of
vision. In 1819 he entered the Institute for Blind Youth
in Paris. There he would live, study, and later teach.
When he was fifteen, he developed system of reading and
writing by means of raised dots, which is known today as
Braille. The basis of the Braille system is known as a
Braille cell. The cell is comprised of six dots numbered
in a specific order. Each dot or combination of dots
represents a letter of the alphabet. This Braille system
has established itself internationally and formed the
basic Braille for all languages. |
