Opis

Despite braille being a significant mode of learning for persons who are blind,concern has been raised about the falling standards of braille literacy among school children in Kenya.This outcry has evoked the need for unraveling the possible causes for the decline. Braille literacy enables school children to increase their potential for independence through communication, self confidence, personal development and educational success among others. Therefore, this book gives the major hindrances to braille learning and offers the way forward to improve braille literacy amongst the school children. The book is particularly useful to all professionals in the field of Special Education, persons with visual impairments,students doing research in Special education and anyone else who may consider working with persons who are visually impaired.
