With braille. :)
Louis Braille was inspired in 1821 by former French Army captain, Charles Barbier de la Serre. Serre visited Braille's school to show his invention of night writing, called sonography. This invention was based off a series of 12 raised dots and numbers, which allowed top-secret information to be transferred between soldiers on the battlefield, without talking.

Braille was also inspired by a six sided dice and used a stitching awl (the same instrument that caused him to go blind at the age of three) and created a system composed of a similar method of raised dots. His method of language was a six dot system.
Braille was invented by Louis Braille (no kidding!?) when he was in his teens. He became blind after his father (a leather worker) left him alone in his office. Louis picked up a tool used to make holes in tough leather and by accident stuck it in his eye. He was only blind in one eye but kept rubbing it and slowly the infection spread to his other eye. Louis was an intelligent boy and kept working until he was accepted into a special school for blind boys in Paris. Louis enjoyed it there but he didn't like the method used to read. They were huge thick books with enormous letters protuding. But this letters made it very hard to read because it was so easy to mistake them for others. Louis spent the rest of his teen years trying to come up with an easier method. He worked when he was supposed to be sleeping, he worked when he was supposed to be eating, he worked during any playtimes and stopped volounteering for things so that he could have extra time working on his method. Finally he found a good method and called it 'Braille'. You would expect it to be a huge success and everyone would no about it, but no. It was very hard to get everyone to listen. Louis passed all his exams and finished school. But he didn't stop there. He went back to Paris the next term and worked as a teacher in his old school. But there was a new headmaster and he burnt all of the books that Louis had so carefully translated to Braille and disallowed anyone to use Braille. In the end Louis and his friends persuaded the headmaster to come around and give a presentation of the new alphabet. It was an amazing success and Louis's dream came true. The alphabet was a success and so was Louis. In his will he wrote, burn the box which kept the papers enclosing details of all the money he was owed. I was bursting as Louis was so genorous he gave whatever he didn't need away to whoever did need it. He died of tuberculosis. I do not have any of the dates but I have the basic story and I hope I have answered your question.
