Doug completes
his school work in Braille, but it's not this way everywhere. Less than
10% of blind children in America are taught Braille in school. Those
who do not learn Braille eventually fall behind.
Educators who oppose
the use of Braille, or fail to provide Braille teachers and books,
do their students a grave disservice.
Braille literacy is
the most important key on Doug's keyring, giving him access to education,
professional opportunities and independence.
