In 1905, the American Association of Workers for the Blind appointed a committee tasked with investigating different potential systems for adoption. The resulting 1913 report of this committee, known as the Uniform Type Committee, sparked controversy and raised important questions about the nature of tactile reading systems. The author critically analyzes the committee's report and the reading tests it conducted, arguing that the results were influenced by biased practices. The book delves into the history of tactile reading systems, explores the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches, and considers the broader implications for the education and literacy of blind people. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the ongoing search for an optimal tactile reading system for the blind community.
