was mostly playing in his Dads work shop. • At the age of three Louis Braille
became blind after an accident in his fathers workshop, while using his fathers tools.
Louis’ Way• When Louis was 10 he went to the National
Institute for Blind Children.• When he was only 15 he had created his first
dot alphabet. • Eight years later he had added symbols for
music and math.

remains something blind people use to learn and communicate• For example, the letter A is one big
dot and five small dots• The letter B is two big dots on the
side and four small dots
