A teacher at the New York Institute for Special Education in
the Bronx says his invention can be a revolutionary teaching tool for students
around the world.
Daniel Lubiner invented a tablet for the blind and visually
impaired that will help them perform necessary tasks in schools.
"It all started about five years ago when I was told
that I was going to be teaching art for the blind and low vision, and I can
tell you honestly, I was scared," Lubiner told News 12.
According to the BrailleDoodle website, the devices allow
students who are visually impaired to create touchable drawings and learn
braille at the same time.
Lubiner says those who learn braille are far more likely to
find employment than those who do not.
Lubiner is hoping to bring the BrailleDoodle to the market
by September and the TouchPad Pro in the next three years.
