Hello karuna,
Sounds like you already have a good start! I don't think there are any hard &
fast rules about age & learning. It all depends on the person. And if you
speak more than one language, I think you already have an ability to learning a
new one.

As someone who learned to use the iPhone at 81, I'd suggest you give Braille a
try. Check with your state rehabilitation office and Hadley to see if you can
get some instruction assistance. Just keep in mind, that it is a learning
curve; you have no dealine; so if it is slow, what the heck?
Hi Fred, I can sympathize. I learned braille when I was 50. My best
advice is to practice, practice, practice! Find a book or choose a
braille magazine that you simply can't put down. What you need is a
real page-turner, and then read it in braille. After that, choose
another! Keep records in

Yes, it is absolutely possible. Prior to my retirement, I taught braille to
many clients who were seniors. Also, hadley institute for blind and
visually impaired offers free correspondence courses to help u learn
braille. Good luck and if I can be of any more help, yell.

If you think you might want to read much, including books, then a refreshable
braille display makes reading easier and gives you access to all sorts of
electronic material. I'm blind from birth, and I am probably a bit more radical
about this than many people, but I haven't used paper braille

Oh of course. All you need to learn is The positioning of six dots or six
fingers in the case of typing. Reading braille fluently could be a challenge
at that age but not what you’re trying to achieve.

There are secrets to the code, really logical keys, that make it easier to
learn than is commonly believed. Unless you have severe physical or cognitive
issues that would preclude being able to use it (advanced

One more advantage of taking any Hadley course, is that you can get a
bookshare membership for free if that is something you also are
interested in.

I should have added that the Hadley school is a correspondence school and they
offer instructors for each class they take. If you took a braille course from
them, they would give you an instructor and lessons in braille and it is a one
on one type of situation. You could go at your own pace and
The Hadley school for the blind, 700 Space Elm St., Winnetka, Illinois has very
good training materials for braille and it is free. But you have to be very
determined to learn braille really at any age but especially if you are older.
You sound very determined and that’s the biggest part. If
I don't see why not. As long as the person has a lot of determination
and there hands are in good shape. I mean, as long as they don't have
any nerve damage in there hand and there sense of touch works fine.
I'm not sure about the best training materials.
