Talking Vision is Vision Australia's national radio program on blindness and low vision.

In the program of December 30, with January 4 being the birthday of Louis Braille, we have the first of a series of two editions, celebrating  his remarkable gift of the key to literacy for blind people around the world. This week, we offer you another opportunity to hear a feature first broadcast in February 2013, marking ten years of Vision Australia’s Feelix Library. You can hear how this innovative program opens the world of reading for very young children who are blind or have low vision through a multi-sensory experience which facilitates development of tactile and auditory skills.

Participants this week are
  • Louise Curtin, manager of the Feelix Library;
  • Rory Michie a five year old member of the Feelix Library with his mother Terri;
  • Beth Glover, an early Childhood Educator with Vision Australia.
Also in the program we play a powerful musical tribute to Louis Braille, written and performed by blind Canadian Terry Kelly.

You can listen here to the program or go to the Talking Vision web page for broadcast details, an outline of past programs and links to the associated audio.
