Accessible books cannot be taken for granted


Dear Sir or Madam,

To open a book and read it is nothing really special? However, it is not self-evident to blind and visually impaired people. Because very often books are not designed and made available in an accessible way from the beginning. We asked Prof. Thomas Kahlisch from the German Central Library for the Blind, why it is that way and what he wants from the Federal Government.

Have a nice weekend!

We asked ...

A wizarding student who triumphs over evil. A girl who meets the love of her life. Literature has many facets and captivates us with wonderful stories day in and day out. Yet not everyone has access to these texts because accessible books for blind or visually impaired people are few and far between.

How we roll

In the life of Maria Langstroff several people play an important role. They give her not only support but also courage and strength. The student and authoress has an unknown muscle disorder and enjoys her life to the fullest. Why not an actress, but her mother should represent her in the movie about her life and which comedian makes her laugh, she tells us at REHACARE.com.
