Recognizing World Braille Day in Texas

On Sunday, January 4, Texans joined people around the world in recognizing World Braille Day, a day dedicated to honoring the vital role braille plays in literacy, education, employment, and independence for people who are blind or have low vision.

In recognition of this important day, Governor Greg Abbott issued a World Braille Day Proclamation, reaffirming Texas’ commitment to accessibility, literacy, and opportunity for all. The proclamation highlights braille as the foundation of literacy for blind and visually impaired students and recognizes Texas’ leadership in ensuring instructional materials are accessible to learners across the state.

To continue learning and reflecting on the impact of braille, we encourage you to listen to this braille awareness podcast from the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The episode explores the history, importance, and continued relevance of braille in today’s world: [link removed].

World Braille Day is a reminder that access to information is essential to full participation in our communities. The Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities thanks the educators, advocates, and organizations across Texas who continue to champion braille literacy and expand opportunities for people who are blind or have low vision.
