💘 Valentine’s Day Sensory Hugs 💘
Looking for a cozy, inclusive Valentine idea? 💗
A vibrating stuffed animal or pillow can be a wonderful “sensory hug” for kids with sensory needs.
The gentle vibration offers calming, predictable input that can help with:
✨ Self-regulation
✨ Anxiety or stress
✨ Transitions and quiet time
✨ Feeling safe and comforted

Today we celebrate World Braille Day, and the power of literacy, access, and independence.

January 4 marks Louis Braille's birthday, whose tactile writing system transformed education and opportunity for individuals who are blind or DeafBlind worldwide. It also launches Braille Literacy Month, a time to honor how braille literacy expands access to information, communication, and participation.

Braille isn't just dots on a page, it's direct access to written language. For the DeafBlind community especially, braille serves as a primary communication pathway, enabling connection to information and conversations when audio alternatives aren't accessible. Whether through traditional braille, refreshable braille displays, or tactile graphics, braille opens doors to learning, employment, and everyday autonomy.

At Helen Keller Services, we see this every day. Our participants use braille to read job training materials, access technology through braille displays, and engage with the world on their own terms. From our vocational rehabilitations program to our technology training, we're committed to advancing braille access in education, employment, digital spaces, and beyond.

Braille is empowerment. It's access. It's independence.

Image Description: Close-up photograph of hands reading braille on a white page. The text "WORLD BRAILLE DAY" appears in dark blue letters on the left side, with braille cells below that spell out "World Braille Day." Helen Keller Services logo is positioned in the bottom right corner.
