To Braille, or Not to Braille? That is the Question

Julie Franks

School of Social Work & RNIB Rehabilitation Studies University of Central England Birmingham

This Paper sets out to explore the place of Braille teaching within the broad framework of direct services to blind and partially sighted adults by rehabilitation workers and specialist social workers employed in a variety of agencies throughout the United Kingdom; much debate is currently afoot with regard to attempts to define the core knowledge and skills with which these workers should be equipped by their training bodies and in the first of a series of Papers the results of a recent research project undertaken jointly by the Universities of Birmingham and of Central England in Birmingham are presented to contribute to this discussion.
