BRAILLE EVENTS FOR CHILDREN
In the age of technology, braille is more important than ever. Research shows that there is a strong correlation between braille literacy and employment—even though the braille code was developed nearly 200 years ago. The New England Regional Braille Challenge, a national program of the Braille Institute of America, is a braille reading and writing contest for blind and visually impaired students in grades 1 through 12. It is hosted annually in early spring by the Carroll Center, and is open to all braille students in the six New England states and New York.
