The Development of Education for Blind People 1 Chapter 1: The development of education for blind people The development of education for blind people Legacy of the Past The book Legacy of the Past (Some aspects of the history of blind educa- tion, deaf education, and deaf-blind education with emphasis on the time before 1900) contains three chapters: Chapter 1: The development of education for blind people Chapter 2: The development of education for deaf people Chapter 3: The development of education for deaf-blind people In all 399 pp. An internet edition of the whole book in one single document would be very unhandy. Therefore, I have divided the book into three documents (three inter- netbooks). In all, the three documents contain the whole book. Legacy of the Past. This Internetbook is Chapter 1: The development of education for blind people. Foreword In his Introduction the author expresses very clearly that this book is not The history of blind education, deaf education and deaf-blind education but some aspects of their history of education with emphasis on the time before 1900. Nevertheless - having had the privilege of reading it - my opinion is that this volume must be one of the most extensive on the market today regarding this part of the history of special education. For several years now I have had the great pleasure of working with the author, and I am not surprised by the fact that he really has gone to the basic sources trying to find the right answers and perspectives. Who are they - and in what ways have societies during the centuries faced the problems? By going back to ancient sources like the Bible, the Holy Koran and to Nordic Myths the author gives the reader an exciting perspective; expressed, among other things, by a discussion of terms used through our history. As I am trying to say, Dr. Enerstvedt not only presents a historical survey, rather he discusses the situation of the blind, the deaf and the deaf-blind in the context of the actual time they were living in. Dr. Enerstvedt is not only a theoretical researcher - he also has a practical experience from the field, which he reveals in his discussion on methods. The book has the character of having been written by a professional in so- ciology and by a person with a deep understanding and knowledge in special education. As said earlier, this volume is not a bare historical outline, but is also a 2 Legacy of the Past -–Those who are gone but have not left story of individuals and their helpers from the Antiquity and beyond - to our time. This book should be of great interest to all of us working with sensory- deprived people, to parents and to students in the area of education, psychology, sociology and other related areas. Oslo 28th of May 1996 Knut Arnesen Director Skådalen Resource Centre for Special Education of the Hearing Impaired and the Deaf-Blind Introduction The present book is not The history of blind education, deaf education, and deaf-blind education. It is not A history of ..., it is precisely what is stated in the title: Some aspects of the history of blind education, deaf education, and deaf- blind education with emphasis on the time before 1900. My own qualifications for trying to make a contribution to the field of deaf- ness, blindness, and deaf-blindness: My main profession is that of a professor of sociology, Department of So- ciology, University of Oslo. I am Senior Research Officer at Skådalen Resource Centre for Special Education of the Hearing Impaired and the Deaf-Blind (pre- viously: Skådalen School). I worked as care-worker at a residential school for deaf and deaf-blind children in Oslo - Skådalen school - from January 1990 to July 1991. Previous to that I worked for more than a year as a relief worker at the same institu- tion/school (from October 1988 to December 1989). During the autumn of 1991 I studied deaf-blindness with Sense - The Na- tional Deafblind and Rubella Association in the UK, at Sense in the Midlands, i.e. a regional centre for Sense in Birmingham. The first half of the year 1993 I studied deaf-blindness at Perkins School for the Blind, Watertown, USA. Although my interest in working with deaf-blind people primarily was a theoretical and general one - that of the essence of communication and language - my actual work with deaf-blind persons altered my perspectives. I am still intere- sted in the general theoretical questions of communication and language and plan to write something on that subject. However, I have gradually become more and more interested in the lives and fates of deaf-blind people. In the beginning I me- rely wanted to give a very brief historical overview before I came to my main interest, that of the communication of (and with) deaf-blind people. However, my studies led to an interest in the history of both deaf and blind education. I recog- nized the necessity of studying blindness and deafness as prerequisite to un- derstanding deaf-blindness, although the latter is not merely the sum of deafness and blindness. The result is this book - the first part of my main project: the communication of (and with) deaf-blind people. It is the result of the practical experience and theoretical studies of several years. 3 Chapter 1: The development of education for blind people It is impossible to mention all the people who have been important and help- ful in my work. However, some persons without whom this and the next book never could have been published, deserve being named. To exemplify this help would require the space of a great book in itself! (Perhaps such a book should be written so that the reader might understand that every book is a collective pro- duct.) In alphabetic order : Yerker Andersson, Abdel Magid Al-Araki, Thomas E.

My thoughts also go to all the tutors (house/residential workers; "program aids") I have worked with. Except for two or three cases; this was a successful cooperation in which I learned very much. Last but not least; the deaf-blind students and their parents have been decisi- ve to my learning in this very difficult subject. The following institutions also were of major importance for my work: The University of Oslo - Department of Sociology; Skådalen Resource Cen- tre for Special Education of the Hearing Impaired and the Deaf-blind, Oslo; Sosi- aldepartementet (Royal Norwegian Ministry of Social Welfare), Oslo ; Statens Sentralteam for Døvblinde (Norwegian Central Team for the Deaf-Blind), Oslo; Faglitterær forfatterforening (The Norwegian Non-fiction Writers and Translaters Association), Oslo; Borlaugs legat (Borlaug's legacy); The National Deafblind and Rubella Association (Sense) - Sense in the Midlands, Birmingham, Great Britain; 4 Legacy of the Past -–Those who are gone but have not left Perkins School for the Blind, Watertown, Massachusetts; Clarke School for the Deaf, Northampton, Massachusetts; Rhode Island School for the Deaf, Provi- dence, Rhode Island; Helen Keller National Center for Deafblind Youths and Adults (HKNC), New York; Gallaudet University, Washington, D.C.; The Lear- ning Center for Deaf Children, Framingham, Massachusetts; Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.1 The development of education for blind people They were white, black, brown, yellow, red. They were of every race and every faith, of every class and every station, in every land under every sky. Some were born to their fate; others came to it through caprice of accident, or in the heat of battle, or by dint of a ruler's cruel decree. They were the blind - uncounted generations of them over the centuries, 15 million or more alive in the world today (Koestler,F.A. 1976, p. 1) Shooting stars on the horizon of deep darkness? Monbeck points out that although the number of blind people has never been large, blindness was somewhat more common in the ancient world than it is today, at least as in the United States and Western Europe.

  • Interactive Tactile Representations to Support Document Accessibility for People with Visual Impairments
    INTERACTIVE TACTILE REPRESENTATIONS TO SUPPORT DOCUMENT ACCESSIBILITY FOR PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS Von der Fakultät für Informatik, Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik der Universität Stuttgart zur Erlangung der Würde eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) genehmigte Abhandlung vorgelegt von MAURO ANTONIO ÁVILA SOTO aus Panama-Stadt Hauptberichter: Prof. Dr. Albrecht Schmidt Mitberichter: Prof. Dr. Tiago Guerreiro Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 28. September 2020 Institut für Visualisierung und Interaktive Systeme der Universität Stuttgart 2020 to Valentina iv Abstract v ABSTRACT Since the early beginnings of writing, humans have exploited text layout and format as primary means to facilitate reading access to a document. In con- trast, it is the norm for visually impaired people to be provided with little to no information about the spatial layout of documents. Braille text, sonification, and Text-To-Speech (TTS) can provide access to digital documents, albeit in a linearized form. This means that structural information, namely a bird’s-eye view, is mostly absent. For linear reading, this is a minor inconvenience that users can work around. However, spatial structures can be expected to strongly contribute to activities besides linear reading, such as document skimming, revising for a test, memorizing, understanding concepts, and comparing texts. This lack of layout cues and structural information can provoke distinct types of reading hindrances. A reader with visual impairment may start reading multiple sidebar paragraphs before starting to read the main text without noticing, which is not optimal for reading a textbook. If readers want to revise a paragraph or access a certain element of the document, they must to go through each element on the page before reaching the targeted paragraph, due screen readers iterate through each paragraph linearly.

  • What Is Braille
    Search Braille was first developed about 1820 by a young Frenchman named Louis Braille. He created Braille by modifying a system of night writing which was intended for use on board ships. He did this work as a very young man and had it complete by the time he was about 18. He and his friends at the school for the blind he attended found that reading and writing dots was much faster than reading raised print letters which could not be written by hand at all. The development of this system by young Louis Braille is now recognized as the most important single development in making it possible for the blind to get a good education. It took more than a century, however, before people would accept Braille as an excellent way for the blind to read and write. Even today many people underestimate the effectiveness of Braille. While tapes and records are enjoyable, Braille is essential for note taking and helpful for studying such things as math, spelling, and foreign languages. Experienced Braille readers, however, read Braille at speeds comparable to print readers--200 to 400 words a minute. Such Braille readers say that the only limitation of Braille is that there isn't enough material available. Braille consists of arrangements of dots which make up letters of the alphabet, numbers and punctuation marks. The basic Braille symbol is called the Braille cell and consists of six dots arranged in the formation of a rectangle, three dots high and two across. Other symbols consist of only some of these six dots.

Obviously our children do not grow up to exhibit all these traits, but most of them do well enough with the skills and attributes we do manage to impart to them.

MY BELOVED FRIEND AND COUNSELLOR HENRY J.

II. ILLINGWORTH AUTHOR 214648 PREFACE No up-to-date treatise on the important and interesting " " subject of The History of the Education of the Blind being in existence in this country, and the lack of such a text-book specially designed for the teachers in our blind schools being grievously felt, I have, in response to repeated requests, taken in hand the compilation of such a book from all sources at my command, adding at the same time sundry notes and comments of my own, which the experience of a quarter of a century in blind work has led me to think may be of service to those who desire to approach and carry on their work as teachers of the blind as well equipped with information specially suited to their requirements as circumstances will permit. It is but due to the juvenile blind in our schools that the men and women to whom their education is entrusted should not only be acquainted with the mechanical means of teaching through the tactile sense, but that they should also be so steeped in blind lore that it becomes second nature to them to think of and see things from the blind person's point of view.

    This book is a compilation of research, in “Understanding and Tracing the Problem faced by the Visually Impaired while doing Mathematics” as a Diploma project by Aarti Vashisht at the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore. 6 DOTS 64 COMBINATIONS A Braille character is formed out of a combination of six dots. Including the blank space, sixty four combinations are possible using one or more of these six dots. CONTENTS Introduction 2 About Braille 32 Mathematics for the Visually Impaired 120 Learning Mathematics 168 C o n c l u s i o n 172 P e o p l e a n d P l a c e s 190 Acknowledgements INTRODUCTION This project tries to understand the nature of the problems that are faced by the visually impaired within the realm of mathematics. It is a summary of my understanding of the problems in this field that may be taken forward to guide those individuals who are concerned about this subject. My education in design has encouraged interest in this field. As a designer I have learnt to be aware of my community and its needs, to detect areas where design can reach out and assist, if not resolve, a problem. Thus began, my search, where I sought to grasp a fuller understanding of the situation by looking at the various mediums that would help better communication. During the project I realized that more often than not work happened in individual pockets which in turn would lead to regionalization of many ideas and opportunities. Data collection got repetitive, which would delay or sometimes even hinder the process.
