National Braille Study

There are many challenges for Canadians who read Braille, and we wanted to understand and determine what we could do to address some of them. Mary Ellen Gabias, President of the Canadian Federation of the Blind, volunteered to lead a team of writers including Michelle Creedy (BC), Holly Hoffmann (AB), Kerry Kijewski (ON), and Marcia Yale (ON), and one research assistant, Lilith Lee (ON), to propose a sustainable long-term strategy for making braille accessible to all Canadians in print and digital forms. This study was published in June 2018.
