Coping With Blindness Blindness: The state of lacking sight or not being able to see. People in their everyday lives use their eye sight to help them function with everything they do. We never usually stop and think about the consequences and changes we would have to make if we were to one day lose our vision. Some people question about how we could lose our sight. There are many different ways this might happen. It could be by accident, with something injuring the eye. It could also be Cataracts

Because of Louis Braille, the blind can read and write. People never thought that it would, or could, ever happen. Louis Braille made a HUGE difference in the lives of blind people, starting in 1824 when he developed the 6-dot cell system. Even today he is still making a difference, such as the "Braille Olympics," where blind students use their braille skills in competitions. (Perkins) Louis Braille, although was not born blind, created a system still being used today. Louis has become a major hero

Background Statement Never in a million years did I plan on joining Greek life in college. When I got to school I quickly decided that I wanted to be more involved and help make a difference in people’s lives. I decided to rush a sorority which happened to be Delta Gamma. Delta Gamma has provided me with so many wonderful opportunities to make a difference. When the Whited family reached out to our chapter here at IUP I knew this would be something I would remember doing for years to come. The Whited

Keller’s was her success in establishing braille as the official reading and writing language for the blind (The History of Helen Keller, 2015, para. 5). Before that, there were four other systems that were used which confused the blind immensely and made communication difficult as not everybody studied with the same system. Helen Keller’s campaign to make braille the standard system for communication for the blind was received well and from then on braille became the official language for the blind

1. Introduction The Braille system is used for people who are blind visually impaired people to read and write. The system was invented in 1821 by Louis braille, a blind Frenchman. He had invented a system for soldiers to communicate at night without a sound process called sonography. He created the raised dots alphabet for the blind so they can read. Braille is read by running your fingers over the raised print on a flat surface. 1.1 Visually Impaired Literacy has

Today, technology is an aspect of almost everybody's lives, and seems to help us in various ways. Lately, new technology devices and sources such as videogames are looking as if they could improve our daily lives, minds, and protect us from danger. Based on studies, technological usage such as with video games and drones will positively improve our daily lives if used correctly and executed into our daily lives, especially students. With the advancement of technology, new systems or machines are

Can blind people see? Is there a possible solution for people with physical and sensitive disabilities to walk without sticks, read any text and improve their quality of life? Can they feel the world in a better way? Ramiro Velazquez (2010) composed a research on the “Wearable Assistive Devices for the Blind” that presents different solutions of their problem. Citing Ramiro Velasquez (2010), he states: “Globally, an estimated 40 to 45 million people are totally blind, 135 million have low vision

The Benefits of Advances in Communication for the Visual or Hearing Impaired Language is a means of communication that people use to interact with others in society. Generally, language comprises vocal sounds to which meanings have been assigned by cultural convention and often supplemented by various gestures. (Sharma, 30) For any 'normal' person, language is no longer viewed as a tool to acquire: language is placed as a standard and basic skill, almost being considered given at birth

Louis Braille Rough Draft Some people think that teenagers are lazy, selfish, and ignorant. However, there are many teenagers that have changed our world. One teen that changed the world is Louis Braille. A few hundred years ago, blind people were only part of the lower class because education was hard for them to obtain. But this is not so, due to the writing system that Louis Braille created. At the age of 15, Louis Braille formulated a writing system that enables the blind to read and write.

Diversity is usually portrayed as the acceptance of many different races and geographical cultures. It is not as common to hear the lack of diversity towards the blind community but it exists. The attendance of Texas State University has opened up the doors to one of the most diverse places I have had the chance to experience first-hand. Although Texas State has become somewhat of a safe-haven, that does not displace the fact that there is stereotyping everywhere against the blind. According to
