We're kicking off the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of Braille with insights from Tristan Clare, chair of the Australian Braille Authority. Louis Braille’s invention in 1824 revolutionised accessibility, and today, technology makes Braille more portable and accessible than ever.
Tristan shared how modern Braille displays, like his Mantis Q40, allow him to carry hundreds of books and access Braille on-the-go. Braille is still crucial for literacy and education, ensuring blind children have the same opportunities as their sighted peers.
Join us for a Braille awareness event in Brisbane on January 16 at Post Office Square from 8-11 a.m. 🎉
Let’s celebrate Braille’s incredible journey! #WorldBrailleDay #Braille200 #AccessibleReading
