Blind in Louisville

The American Printing House for the Blind is a massive building, where many tasks occur. In one room they display many of their products they sell. In the next room massive machines and people make books in braille. As we journeyed throughout the building we saw people recording books for the blind, and a whole floor containing facts about braille and the history behind Kentucky's blind schools.

Interesting that technology is just catching up in this field. Computers have been developed to replace their old, handfed machines but the old machines are still more accurate. We tried our hands at writing and reading braille and enjoyed the personal tour we received.

We have a new appreciation for those who are visually impaired and what organizations like the American Publishing House for the Blind are doing.

Here is a link to their website.
