Embossed #TactileGraphics from the early 1900s by French educator Martin Kunz turned nature into something #Blind students could feel. He hand-carved molds and pressed paper to create raised illustrations with braille descriptions. Our Perkins Archives hold dozens!

Ever heard of Anton's syndrome? It's a rare but strange condition. 👨🎓
After an injury to the back of the brain, a person can become blind but they are totally unaware that they can't see. Their brain does not realise that they can no longer see. 🧑🦯

It's #LowVisionAwarenessMonth and being #Blind doesn't mean you see nothing at all. At Perkins, we give kids with disabilities the confidence and knowledge to access their world in their own way. Help us continue this work with a gift today: Perkins.org/GameDay #SuperBowlLIX

Have you ever wondered how #Braille works?
👉 A #BrailleCell consists of 6 numbered dots arranged in 2 columns & 3 rows.
👉 A capital letter has a dot 6 before the letter.
👉 Numbers have a special number sign character in front. The number sign is dot 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Disabled @PlayStation gamers have been waiting a while for an accessible controller.
Now the new Access controller is nearly here @ed_nights, for @eurogamer, looks at how it functions and if there's an "upward trend" of accessibility across the industry.

It's #WorldSightDay and #Blindness is a spectrum. Only 15% of #Blind people see nothing at all, and most people have some light/color perception. These examples show what someone with a particular visual impairment may see, but no two people have the same #LivedExperience:
