How will the ELIA® Tactile Alphabet benefit society?
Visual impairment takes a huge toll on society. With the ELIA® Tactile Alphabet, people who have a visual impairment will have a new tool with which to gain or retain employment. They will require less care from paid and unpaid caregivers. They will be able to independently maintain better health. They will be able to achieve greater academic success if they pursue continuing education. Additionally, ELIA readers will be able to better function within society because sighted co-workers, family members and friends will be able to easily read and understand their ELIA materials.
