Anthony Parker has encountered nearly every question imaginable about his blindness. How long has he been blind? What does it feel like? Does he drive? On Tuesday, Parker fielded those questions and more during a presentation with students at The Dufrocq School, where he works as a paraprofessional. The event was part of World Braille Day, which was celebrated Jan. 4. The day raises awareness of the importance of the braille writing systems in communication. Parker, who has been blind since age 3, encouraged students to treat everyone with respect and kindness, regardless of any disabilities.

Parker also provided students with tips on reading braille and highlighted assistive devices and techniques he utilizes in his daily life.
