We’re still celebrating #WorldBrailleDay here at the National Federation of the Blind. Oriana Riccobono shows some of the ways that we use #Braille at the Jernigan Institute, our headquarters in Baltimore.

What is one word that comes to mind when you think of Braille?
Some celebrate #WorldBrailleDay once but on Double Tap we do it for a whole week! Check out our special week of episodes starting Jan 6 at 12 noon Eastern focusing on the legacy of Louis Braille's creation 200 years on.
🌍📝 It's World Braille Day! Braille is a vital system for visually impaired individuals, allowing them to read and write. Let’s raise awareness and honor this incredible innovation! 💡
Braille is beautiful and your post is also beautiful. I consider Braille as one of the most impactful inventions of mankind.
I wish every website worked with screen readers and braille displays.
I had such a great time at the Braillists Foundation conference yesterday! It was so lovely to chat to other Braille enthusiasts in person, and get to see all kinds of archive Braille teaching aids and early Braille displays. I got my tech questions answered and received some wonderful tips for tactile drawing techniques. There was a great speaker, Eleanor Stollery, who’s done so many amazing things and is only 13! She’s done live audio description for theatre productions, acted on stage in the West End, worked as a voice actor for the BBC and told us about how Braille has made it all easier. I also had a great chat to Alan Thorpe,who repairs Braillers, who’s in the news in the UK at the moment as he’s looking to find an apprentice to take over from him eventually.
And there was a great practical workshop about different ways to develop touch techniques, using tactile toys as “reset objects” when fingers get tired. I came away full of ideas and so grateful I was able to attend. My husband enjoyed a well earned beer when we got home for driving us there and being an all round star, assisting me to get the most out of the day!

Happy World Braille Day, everyone! This is a few year old photo but an appropriate one for today :D Whisper wanted to help out when I was reading a book. #WorldBrailleDay
Der #Shelly BLU #Button ist mit taktiler Beschriftung versehen.
Man hätte sie bestimmt auch (zusätzlich) in richtiger #Braille #Schrift gestalten können.

🎉 "Today, on #WorldBrailleDay, let’s commit to making our world more accessible. Every small action counts—whether it’s advocating for Braille signage or supporting organizations that promote literacy. Together, we can make a difference! #Accessibility #Empowerment
Really glad I did lessons etc for primary school library classes for #WorldBrailleDay
January 4th is World Braille Day, a reminder that accessibility is KEY to boldly going everywhere. Progress is logical! Starfleet’s Universal Translators? Fully Braille-compatible since stardate 1284.9 and no I don't understand how. ~Cmdr. BF #WorldBrailleDay #AccessibilityIsFuturistic #LLAP #SPO

Guess what? Because I like such days, but my tracking time skills are at level 0, I wish you a happy #WorldBrailleDay #Braille is good. This post was written in braille, then re-written on the phone. Ha! No, I used a braille display and it was connected to my phone, so the post was not re-writen. However, here is one for you. A friend I consider awesome, said "Braille is text, colours, and access to a lot of things." I agree. For me, braille is access to comprehension, to understanding, because it is like reading with glasses. Giving it up for talking things, and forgiving your brain more auditory things to process, is not fun. There will be one day, when the power will simply stop, then you would wish to have just one little braille book. Trust me, this is told to you by a person whose home had no power for 7/8 days, and back then, I had no money to buy a braille display, I took up some old braille books, and like a good teenager, I spent my time reading them. And although they are old, I still keep them. So, how about we also think of those friends who cannot hear, nor auditorily process things? Isn't giving up on braille going to rob them from that which we have access to? Is this not going to create inequality? And most of all, isn't this a setback? Because I think it is. Children should be taught braille, and should be encouraged to use it. They should encourage, in turn, teachers and librarians, to give them interesting to them books to read, and libraries should have braille books available. Not hidden in a back room, but at the front. Sighted folks are really fascinated with how braille works. I have not seen even one, at least around here, who turned their back, they would always come to me and ask questions. Now, I thank you for stopping buy and reading my post. Be safe, take care of yourselves, and have a great weekend.
« On serait assez bloqués » : le 'Guardian' a rencontré le seul réparateur britannique de machine à écrire en braille... qui voudrait bien prendre sa retraite.
Alan Thorpe (60 ans) est aveugle depuis qu'il a 15 ans. Il répare les Perkins au toucher. Et il cherche quelqu'un pour prendre sa suite.

Happy #WorldBrailleDay! Read by fingers instead of eyes, braille replaces each letter of the alphabet with a group of six raised dots. If you don’t already know braille, your challenge for today is to learn how to write your name. https://www.perkins.org/how-the-braille-alphabet-works/ #Braille200
