[nabs-l] help with an assistive technology presentation

[Jess]

Patricia,
You are thinking about the Braille and Speak. And, the original company that
made it was Blazie  Engineering that's why you can't find much information
on the Braille and Speak.  I don't really know that much about the Braille
and Speak myself the only time I used one was when I was going through some
adjustment to blindness training in the fall of 2001 when I lived in Salt
Lake City Utah.

Subject: [nabs-l] help with an assistive technology presentation

Hi everyone: 

I was asked about a month ago by my Disability Services Advisor if i would
be willing to do a presentation on assistive technology for the blind
across the lifespan for an assistive technology class that she would be
teaching to special Ed students. I jumped at the opportunity. I get an hour
and a half to present, and decided that before I delve into the technology
of today that I give a background on the technologies of the past i.e. the
very first commercial notetaker, the first notetaker with a braille display,
etc. As i never used many of these technologies myself (the only notetaker I
have ever used is the Pac Mate) I have been doing research into the others
to get a bit of a background and some info for the presentation. However I
can't seem to find any information on the Braille Lite. This surprised me
because this is a piece of technology that many of my friends had used in
school. I was wondering if any of you could give me a brief history of the
Braille LIte (the first version, before it was taken over by Freedom
Scientific). Does anyone know when the Braille Lite came out? 

Any help on this would be great. 

Hope you all are having a wonderful summer.      

Patricia
