National Braille Press Works with Life Alive to Publish Braille Menus

Life Alive, located at 765 Main Street, Cambridge, worked with the Boston-based nonprofit, National Braille Press, to publish braille menus so that their blind and visually impaired customers could have the same information about the restaurant and its menu that sighted customers have. Life Alive store manager Rory Dillon said that it was important that their blind customers have access to information about the restaurant, its mission of providing healthy, organic, whole food for their customers and to have full descriptions of their menu selections. National Braille Press is one of the only braille printing publishers in the U.S. whose mission is to promote literacy for blind children through outreach programs and provides access to information by producing information in braille for blind children and adults.
