Developing strong braille reading and tactile perception skills is an essential part of literacy for blind and visually impaired people. Just like learning to read printed text, becoming a confident braille reader requires practice, patience, and regular training of the fingers and tactile sensitivity.
In recent years, a growing number of educators, organisations, and individuals have started sharing helpful instructional videos online. These videos demonstrate a wide range of activities — from basic tactile exercises and finger sensitivity training to braille reading techniques, working with tactile graphics, and developing efficient braille literacy skills.
On this page we collect selected video materials that may be useful for students, teachers, parents, and anyone interested in improving braille and tactile skills. Our goal is not to provide a complete course, but rather to create a curated list of publicly available materials that can support learning and practice.
The videos listed below are hosted on external platforms such as YouTube or other websites. They are embedded or linked here only for easier discovery and reference.
Please note:
- All videos remain the property of their respective creators.
- The links lead to external websites and platforms that are not controlled by us.
- We cannot guarantee the long-term availability of the videos or that all links will always remain functional.
- We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or accessibility of the external materials.
Whenever possible, we aim to include resources that support the development of braille literacy and tactile exploration in meaningful and engaging ways.
This page will be updated gradually as we discover new useful materials.
