dc.description.abstractIn this video, Tammy Watson, a braille specialist at the secondary school level, discusses teaching braille to both teachers and learners at school. She discusses how learning through braille changes the physical structure of the brain, particularly in regards to the parts of the brain related to nerve sensitivity and muscle control in the fingers. Tammy explains how braille characters are designed, and how children are best taught to both read and write braille. She discusses how to develop the fine motor skills, posture and muscle development required to use braille, through explaining different kinds of activities that can be used in the teaching environment. She also discusses how to represent visual images through braille.en_US
