On November 24th 2021, we celebrated our 50th Anniversary of Blissymbolics, 1971-2021!
Thank you to everyone who joined us - 119 Zoom connections with many of those shared by multiple people.
We watched our new film “Celebrating 50 Years of Bliss!” and listened to guest speakers from our Bliss community.
Many thanks to Nora Rothschild, Penny Parnes, and Rebecca Chan for facilitating.

Volksswitch.org has created a next generation of tactile symbols based on Blissymbolics to teach language to individuals who are blind, deaf-blind, or visually impaired. The symbols may also be effective when used with individuals on the autism spectrum. These Bliss Tactile Symbols are opensource, customizable, extensible, and designed to be 3D-printed.
