> Students who are between the ages of 16 and 22 years who are braille 
> readers and users of assistive technology are needed for a study. This 
> study will explore how you use both braille and electronic information for 
> classroom work, and how you learned these literacy practices. The purpose 
> of this research will be to add to our understanding of the current role 
> of both hard-copy (paper) braille and use of electronic access to 
> information by people who are blind from ages 16-22, and your attitudes 
> and perceptions about both braille and technology. This information will 
> inform how we prepare pre-service teachers to instruct young braille 
> readers.
