<DIV>You can use a Unimanual Perkins if there is adequate strength in one hand,
or you can go with an electronic device such as a Mountbatten even other
notetakers. I worked with a student in seventh grade who also had CP and minimum
use of one hand, and he was learning to use a braille note in one-handed mode.
It makes for one extra step with writing, but it is definitely doable. In truth,
the braille display actually helped him tremendously, as it was easy for him to
track the few cells it afforded at a time. I hope this helps.<BR><BR>Sent from

<P>Unfortunately, with the span it takes to reach all six keys on a Perkins,
it is near impossible to braille one handed. Also, if the limitations in her
functional hand is too severe, braille is not easily accessible. I have yet to
come across a method for this, but if you find anything, please pass it
on.<BR></P>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=339271219-17032014>I have been
working with a young lady who cannot use her left hand and has limited use of
her right hand. She has CP and uses a wheelchair. She lost her
sight at the age of 15. How do you teach someone with limited hand use
Braille? I was considering use the one-handed Perkins brailler for
writing, but I'm not sure she has the hand strength nor the coordination for
putting paper into the machine. I have using a VoiceNote in one hand
mode so far. Any additional suggestions would be most
ehlpful.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
