Thank you so much for your toots and the sharing of that article, that was so interesting !!
I knew about the decrease in litteracy among blind and low vision people, mainly due to the digitalization of medias and the development of text to speech, but I did not know (even if I could have guessed) about all the barriers in learning and teaching Braille.

In the article you shared, I was surprised (though I should not have been, in retrospect) that the arguments "you would not make him blind" to not teach someone mobility skills, are precisely the same used for mobility impaired people, and all the "arguments" against using canes or wheelchairs. As if those tools were "giving up on disability", when they actually allow you to not give up on your participation in society.
Not using them, is giving up !
