“Braille Art is a creative way for students who are blind or visually impaired to gain hand and finger strength, to increase finger dexterity, to develop tactile sensitivity, and to practice the Braille code. Additionally, Braille Art provides students who are blind or visually impaired an opportunity to share artwork with peers, exchange ideas, and develop a sense of accomplishment. These positive interactions are key in encouraging students who are blind or visually impaired to participate equally with others and thus, enhancing their sense of self-worth.” –From Braille American Flag for the 4th of July!
