VISIONAL
IMPAIRMENT
Visual impairment, also known as vision impairment, is a medical definition
primarily measured based on an individual's better eye visual acuity; in the
absence of treatment such as corrective eyewear, assistive devices, and
medical treatment– visual impairment may cause the individual difficulties
with normal daily tasks including reading and walking.

WHAT IS
BRAILLE?
Braille is a system of raised dots that can be read with the fingers
by people who are blind or who have low vision. Teachers, parents,
and others who are not visually impaired ordinarily read braille with
their eyes. Braille is not a language. Rather, it is a code by which
many languages—such as English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and dozens
of others—may be written and read. Braille is used by thousands of
people all over the world in their native languages, and provides a
means of literacy for all.
