<p>Thanks KG. I am glad to know there is a unimanual method of braille writing. I just knew that a Perkins was not so forgiving.<br>

<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>

<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>
