Braille readers have enjoyed magazines from Scottish Braille Press for the best part of forty years. Now the charity says it is discontinuing all of its five publications. Scottish Braille Press CEO Mark O\\u2019Donnell explains the decision.

Aletea Sellers moved from one side of Birmingham to the other about four months ago. She is still waiting for help from the Guide Dogs Association to learn her way around her new neighbourhood.

Erin Jepsen has two visually impaired children and reads and transcribes braille herself. She wanted to find out how changing the word \\u201cbraille\\u201d to \\u201cprint\\u201d in an educational context might challenge some attitudes towards it.
