Abstract
Braille is suggested as an alternative language for the severely learning disabled student; it is a ready-made language and it uses a completely different pathway than that of auditory/ visual input. The apparent success using this technique with a 15-year-old girl who could neither read nor write seems to justify consideration of this radical approach to teaching a method of communication to the severe dyslexic. Instruction in Braille began for this girl in September 1973, and within four months she had exceeded her highest previous reading achievement. In June 1974, she began fourth-grade studies in Braille, and a whole new world of information was opened to her through her newly found skills and the Talking Books and tape-recorded information which accompanied her Braille program.
