Throughout history it was taken for granted that everyone had the ability to communicate through written communication, however, it wasn’t until 1821 when Louis Braille created his system of tactile writing, that vision-impaired people were able to read and write. This system, aptly referred to as Braille after its creator, is not used internationally to help individuals gain independence and lead more normal lives. The system itself contains a series of letters or “cells.” Each cell contains six dot positions that are shaped into a rectangle that has two columns with three dots each. There are up to sixty-four arrangements where each dot can be raised in any of six different ways. The Braille system was an innovation that completed revolutionized life for the blind.

There purposes can be multi-purpose with everything from way-finding placards to signs for bathrooms. For organizations they may be required by law, so check local ordinances and laws to make sure you’re in compliance.
