I DO NOT OWN THE SONG NOR THE PICS! this nice track is Regina Spektor's Braille and the photos are from deviantart. she was lying on the floor ...

If someone knew how to read Braille, could they put that on resumes and college applications?
If so, how would they say that? and what would that be under?

You can only put that in a resume if it is truly an accomplished skill of some measure. Same with college app.

2 or 3 places are possible.

Under Special Skills. For Example If you were a fast typist, you would put the speed (amount of words per minute) at which you are accurate, Typing is a special skill.

Under Launguages. It is not a language, but is an interpretation of same. It is MORE IMPORTANT TO NOTE if you are equally skilled in writing (or more acurately, creating) the letters and words and sentences, as you use a special instrument.

Under Special interests. Is there a reason why you are skilled in this area, that would lead to interest in related fields of study? If so, say so.

Are there any good suggestions for some good books on learning braille and sign language? Preferrably ones I can get at the library.

For Braille go to www.braillesuperstore.com

They are amazing and they have a Braille for Sighted program that works well. I learned Braille Level I in less than three months. I know it well enough to read advanced text.

Helps with understanding patterns
Unique puzzle solving game for kids
Features a cylinder shape with colored ring sections

I know there are three different weights of Braille paper (light, medium, and heavy). Which one should I get for children who are just learning how to write Braille (ages ranging from six to teenagers)? I imagine heavy weight would be hard to push through, but I'm not sure, and I think light weight might tear earier? But again, I'm not sure. Does anyone know what weight is best? Should I play it safe and get medium?

The Braille paper that is available from the American Printing House for the Blind, Louisville, Ky. has one weight of Braille paper that is used by beginners as well as those who have a good command of Braille. Are the young children who are learning Braille using a Braille writer or slate and stylus? I prefer starting them out with a Braille writer, but there are differences of opinion on this. If using a Braille writer then the paper from the Printing House would be fine. If starting out using slate and stylus, then the paper would need to be relatively easy to push the stylus through, but not so thin as to allow holes in the paper thus making it hard to read, again the American Printing House paper would do the trick.

I'm planning on getting a tattoo written in braille, but also in German. Since this is a bit of a challenge, I was wondering how I could make sure that the text is correct. Thanks!

Look up German braille on Google :3
