The real take away here is that only 10% of children who are visually impaired or blind learn braille. Additionally upon looking up that stat cause I figured surely it must be sensationalized, 50% of blind students dropout of school and over 70% are unemployed. A lot of it seems to stem from illiteracy. What a fucking outrage.
Edit: I had the the percentages backwards, 70% are unemployed and 50% drop out, not the other way around as I had written.
