First to Write and Read Tactically
By Alicia Waters | July 3, 2014
Do you know Laura Bridgman? She was the first blind and deaf person to learn to write and read through tactile means. As a Talking Books Plus (TBP) member, you can download a new fictional biography, What is Visible by Kimberly Elkins, through the BARD TBP service. This commercial audiobook published in 2014 tells the story of Laura who leaves Vermont at the tender age of 7 to live at the Perkins Institution for the Blind well before Helen Keller was there.
