Winter 2012
While the code was easy for other students who
were blind to use, the sighted instructors were intimidated by a system that did not resemble print. In fact, they would not allow it to be read at the school even after King Louis Philippe praised the system in 1851. It was not until after Louis Braille's death in 1852 that the code was finally allowed to be used in the school.
Louis Braille was also an accomplished
musician, composer, teacher and inventor, but he is known best as the man behind the code that shows us that people with disabilities can do amazing things!
