NCW is a secondary school for vision-impaired students. For decades, braille has been a fundamental tool enabling vision-impaired people to read and write. Yet fluency in the reading of braille, plus its ready availability, has been in decline of late. Through personal experience, case studies and conclusions we aim to explore how this is changing in today's world and how technology and braille are dynamically and successfully working together to promote wider reading, writing and much more.
