IMAGINE GROWING UP NOT KNOWING HOW TO READ
Literacy: to many, it's simply assumed and yet, here in America, a full 80% of blind schoolchildren cannot read braille. The reasons are many, but the reality is crystal clear: thousands of people in this country are denied access to these basic tools of literacy.
To ensure that blind children have the tools they need, National Braille Press developed the Center for Braille Innovation, a hub for imaginative new ideas, inventive tools, and professional training and expertise.
The Center for Braille Innovation addresses the shortage of high quality braille textbooks and educational materials, tactile images which help blind children explore visual imagery by hand, and affordable technology that is the key to future success.

National Braille Press helps blind children and adults achieve self-sufficiency and independence by publishing braille books and by advocating for literacy - because the single most important gateway to opportunity is the ability to read and write. We produce braille storybooks, textbooks, novels, and information on topics from computers
to healthcare.
