There are different types of braille and endless possibilities for its use. Learning to use braille empowers blind and visually impaired individuals to read and write, making it possible to play cards, take notes, and keep records.
The Nebraska Center for the Blind has created "Pathways to Independence ©," a video training series that teaches skills used by blind and visually impaired individuals.
I want to thank you so much for making this video. I am learning braille so I can get certified to write books for people who need them and your video helped me learn so much.
I pray that this will open a door to give inspiration to orher children to make this grow and be available for people who may even be deaf and blind
Thanks you to teach me braille you are teacher for me
Ann, thank you for your comment. I hope that the captions will help. If this doesn't help solve the problem you are having with the audio please let us know and we will see what else we can do.
Great work ..so detailed yet simple explanation
What a great introduction to the Braille alphabet and numbers! I'm taking a correspondance course in Braille transcription and I found this to be helpful.
Very useful & condensed yet detailed learning material! Thank You!
Great lesson for beginners . you speak right throughout the entire lesson for our blind students.
Thank you for sharing
I am learning Braille and I love grade 2 ! I am visually impaired myself from glaucoma an Braille is really beneficial to me because I can read and write without my sight. Braille has also boosted up my confidence.
That's awesome! Keep up the good work!
Awww thank you!
@@ncbvi Hello!
Thanks! This mterial will be useful for my project with my students.Iam an English teacher in san Juan, Argentina in a high school.
Good
this is great for me to teach a deaf&blind elderly lady but I am partially deaf too so it was difficult to hear every word that was explaining how it works. Is there anyway this could be subtitled for me to understand it better.
Trying to understand the dots numbering. According to you, it's unstable. Number 2 can be down or up etc.
Wow
grace.
great i'll use in the cards
very nice vedio...thanku

What if you have to write a combination of digits and letters in a single 'word', as with some home numbers in addresses? My home number, for example, is 154g. Since normal letters don't have a 'sign' prior to them, you might not recognize the difference between '154g' and '1547', because you only use one number sign before multiple digits. Is there a sign that indicates that you should switch back to reading letters within the same 'word'?
And what about words that are made with capitals only? Do you use a capital sign before each letter?
Hi, William: You could add a capital sign before the G, or you could add dots 56 to indicate a letter. If your entire word is capitalized, you put two dots 6 before the word, and if three or more words are capitalized, you put three dots six. At the end of a capitalized passage, you add a capitals terminator, which is dot 3 followed by a dot 6. I don't know if you wanted all of this information, but there you have it. I know this sounds like a lot, but if you are a braille user, you do this without really thinking about it. Braille is so much easier than print, in my opinion. There is only one way to write a letter, where in print, there are several ways.
Well, in fact I'm not a 'direct' braille user. I'm visually impaired, but I come in contact with blind people very frequently (basically multiple times every day; I'm even living together with some of them), and I was interested in knowing how these people solve this kind of small 'problems'. I don't know if there are some differences in use between using Braille in English or in (let's say) Dutch, which is my native language, but at least the basic single letters, numbers and signs are the same in the Dutch version of Braille.
What I'm really impressed with is that there are more things than just letters, numbers, basic signs and 'character status' signs (number sign, etc.). I've seen people converting musical notes into Braille, and people using a special 4-dotted-cell-based Braille typing machine used for noting a game of chess (it seems to only use the letters and numbers for the moves, as well as a few special marks for the type of move which only needs the top 4 dots; I don't know for sure if this is right, though).

Vary recently ( Friday September 13th 2018 Yes that was my door prize at my Dr office yes Mr G. You have lost even more of your remaining sight It will not get better it can only get worse, You are now legally blind. Have a nice day! ) sight impaired to a legally blind degree. I have been looking around to find any and all I can Before the next medical event takes what is left of my vision for now I want to learn all I can so as not to go quietly into the dark night unprepared. I have watched several of the folks on here who have been Blind all their lives to those who like me were born sighted only to loose it later. I am wondering about my situation as I have never been what you would call totally normal in my sight. Even from a young age in school I was the guinea pig for all the new reading techniques they would come out with It wasn't till my first try at college that They decided I had had Dyslexia and there by dysthymia. Which means my eyes didn't see letters as others do and so I didn't learn to read well till later in life. with this being said I wounder if I would have been able to learn to read better if they had taught me braille fist and then switched me to written words. I think I will ask one or more of my relatives who are teachers. As for what is out there for the blind and vision impaired or at least what I have found on my own so far it is far less impressive than I would have hoped for I am very thankful that my sight is retreating a little at a time rather than all at ounce. Even my reports and the like that I had to have From my Dr. before I could get my state and national groups for the blind and sight impaired to help me were placed on my Dr.s web page that was nether in large print or at least in a audio play back of some kind. When I asked about this deficiency I was told that they figured every body who would need it would have it on their computer and so They didn't provide it as a service to their customers. As a person who has multiple physical handicaps it struck me that under the National persons with disabilities act which is a law of the land that requires access to such things it was odd that an Eye Dr. of all places wasn't in compliance with what I would think was a given.

my question is... why is this a video? blind people can't watch visuals
I'm not blind but i am interested in learning this for some reason.
Vaughn Lewis they're numbered for a reason. not to sound mean
Yes, why would this be a video? Well, because maybe you'd wish to be able to write letters to blind people while you can still see.
And blind people can't see this, but they can HEAR it, don't they? By the way, they still call hearing sound from a video "watching" it.
Very insightful of you. :) I am legally blind and have profound vision loss. I still have SOME vision in my best eye and feel it important to begin learning Braille NOW while I can use the visual ability to help me make this transition without being so overwhelming later once I do not have that advantage. lol it is rather like learning a different language.. woah.. :) You are so right hearing the lesson does really help. One thing most people do not realize is that only 15% of those of us who are diagnosed as blind are totally in the dark. Thank you for your compassionate heart. :)
Well, Extravagant Intimacy, first of all, I'm visually impaired myself. I can still see colors and shapes; I just miss some detail, contrast, and the ability of sight on a far distance or a specific and tiny point.
Allthough I was requested to learn Braille during my time at elementary school, my parents refused to co-operate, because I told them that I didn't understand why I was requested to 'behave like a blind person, while I was not blind and there was no indication that I would become blind. Because of that, it also didn't seem to be that time yet.
That doesn't mean that I wasn't interested in learning about other "languages"; on the contrary, I was taught to count to ten in German, English and French when I was 5 years old (for your information, I'm Dutch, as is my native language), because I thought it was fun to know how to do it. And now, years later and as an adult, that 'fun to know how to do it' part is exactly the same reason why I like to see what this is like. And that is a better reason to learn something that can be useful to you than because someone tells you that you should do so according to the line of rules for education purposes that are not necessary at that point in time. I wouldn't ask you to behave like someone who can see very well either. The only person you have to be is yourself, right?
I won't be able to concentrate enough on the job to learn Braille the way it should be learned (i.e. on touch), because I will tend to use my vision too much and I'm depending on that vision too much to do what I can or must do. I feel that it's better to learn Braille on touch if and when the time comes to do so. But learning about it on sight is also interesting enough.
I still have the amount of vision that I had during my youth, but I'm also part of a world that is populated with lots of people who can see less or nothing at all. I have lived among visually impaired and disabled people all my life and I'm even socializing with them more than before now, for example by playing board games. So, eventually the interest in what Braille is like (even if it's only based on sight) has grown enough to catch some information.
