World Braille Day reminds us that communication looks different for every child ๐ค๐. Braille is one of many ways people access language, stories, learning, and connection and it plays an important role in inclusive communication. In speech therapy, we talk often about meeting kids where they are and supporting communication in ways that work best for them, whether that is spoken words, visuals, AAC, or tactile systems like Braille.
Today is a great moment to talk with your child about how people communicate in different ways and why access matters. Point out textures, letters, books, or signs you see throughout the day and name how they help people share ideas and understand the world around them.
These small conversations build awareness, empathy, and strong language skills all at once.
