'I love reading and writing with Braille'

For 12-year-old Eryn Kirkpatrick from County Tyrone, Braille is the key to her independence.

Eryn, who began learning Braille aged just five, says it allows her to learn just like her peers.

For all of this, she has a 15-year-old French boy called Louis Braille to thank.

"I love reading and writing with Braille," said Eryn.

"I also love learning about all the new technology that is out there now."
