| In 1825, Louis Braille submitted
his work on Braille scripts to the Institute of the Blind
in Paris for approval. However, it was rejected on the assumption it will differentiate the blind from the normal population (similar to the argument for the prohibition of the use of the sign language). It was not until his death that the French government decided to adopt it as the universal method of teaching the blind to read. Throughout his adult life, the living condition of Louis Braille was poor. He developed TB and died at the relative young age of 43 in 1852. |
