LOUIS BRAILLE
Louis Braille  (1809 - 1852) was a French educator and inventor of a system of reading and writing for use by
the blind or visually impaired. His system remains virtually unchanged to this day, and is known worldwide
simply as braille.
Blinded in both eyes as a result of an early childhood accident, Braille mastered his disability while still a boy.
He excelled in his education and received scholarship to France's Royal Institute for Blind Youth. While still a
student there, he began developing a system of tactile code that could allow blind people to read and write
quickly and efficiently. Inspired by the military cryptography of Charles Barbier, Braille constructed a new
method built specifically for the needs of the blind. He presented his work to his peers for the first time in
1824.
