[blindkid] Braille writer

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Debi:

     It is possible to get Extension keys for a Perkins. These attach to the 
keys making them longer and thus giving the user more leverage. Perkins also 
sells an Electric Perkins. The Montbatten might be an option, but it's 
expensive and I wonder how durable they are.

Regards,

Robert Jaquiss
