[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT Chinese Inventors Aim to Help the Blind Brush their Teeth Independently

[Michelle Clark]

I   have to give input. Just ask Dr. Maurer. He has many things people have
brought to the NFB with hopes of so called "helping blind persons". He
showed a  group of persons I  was with a  toothbrush with bristles on the
top and the bottom since blind people do not or cannot figure out to turn
the brush on the other side to brush.

Hi all
All I want for krismis is a Chinese toothbrush!

Special toothbrush for the blind
CN 203182287 U
ABSTRACT
The utility model discloses a special toothbrush for the blind. The special
toothbrush comprises a toothbrush wall and a toothbrush head. The toothbrush
wall is provided with a braille holding area, and the toothbrush head is
provided with a braille toothpaste squeezing area. The special toothbrush is
reasonable in structure, is specially used for tooth brushing by the blind
and guarantees that the blind hold the toothbrush to enable the toothbrush
head to be opposite to themselves so as to squeeze the toothpaste; and the
blind are simultaneously reminded of squeezing the toothpaste in a right
area.

Subject: [Nfb-krafters-korner] Class Registration Link for The Knitted
Version of Knitted Knockers is on the website!

Hello all,
 
I am sorry for any confusion that these Knitted Knockers classes may be
presenting.
 
The Knitted version of the Knitted Knockers class is now up on the website
for registration.
 
This will be an email class beginning on October 11.  Registration deadline
is October 1.
 
I have put this as an intermediate class as working with the finer yarn is a
bit more challenging than the worsted weight.
 
We will be learning the technique to make I cord as well as knitting in the
round with the Magic Loop method.
 
To sign up go to:
