Braille writing - an unrenounceable prerequisite for teaching and training in the schooling of blind people
In this article the author presents in shortened form above all the technological and computer technical development of access to information through written and spoken language for the blind, and the present day situation.
At the end of this he emphasises Braille as an important access to information and explains this. He then brings Braille into the school context and lists the consequences of teaching adapted to the blind.
At the end of the article he sumises:
- Braille is an unrenounceable prerequisite for communication in the teaching and training in the area of the blind. The modern computer technology offers a host of possibilities for easing the access to any information acoustically or by means of Braille.
- The worldwide data nets are today also accesible to blind people and therefore can be used for teaching and training.
- However especially the Internet increasingly demonstrates the problems which the new technologies raise about access to information. They force new considerations about technological solutions and curricular further development in the education of the blind.
- Aim of all these attempts must be the vocational and social integration. The compensation for disadvantages can be partially achieved with modern technologies.
