Speaking Out for the Blind Episode 291- The Braille Printing House

April 2, 2022

There’s one organization in Cincinnati, Ohio that’s printing Braille for the blind who need it the most. That organization is the Clovernook Center for the Blind. The center has a Braille Printing House who hires blind and visually impaired workers, producing thirty million pages for global customers each year. Joining us to talk about some of the wonderful Braille works that the Printing House does is the Clovernook Center for the Blind’s Director of Braille Production and Accessible Innovation Samuel Foulkes.
