The language of Braille, similar to the form still used today, was invented in the 19th century by Louis Braille, a student at the National Institute for Blind Youth in Paris, France.

This new method, which was loosely based on a touch-based military code, used raised dots. Once learned, braille enabled reading at a much faster pace.

Yet as you get busy and concerned with more pressing and immediate matters, you can overlook details associated with building compliance.
