[Trainer-Talk] Refreshable braille display search

[Reginald George]

Hello Patricia. I would say that both the braille me at $500 and the orbit reader 20 at $450 has braille that cannot easily  be pushed down. Checking the orbit reader on the orbit research site it now says a price of $600. This is a considerable increase and it is no longer available from the American printing House for the blind. Without calling I would have no way of knowing if it was backordered. The disadvantage to this display is no routing keys. Last I knew the braille me was available from national braille press at $500 and it does have routing keys.

Hi all,
I am teaching braille to an adult student that has hand tremors. We're
looking for some options that would mitigate some of the effects of the
tremors upon her reading fluency and would like to try a refreshable
braille display. We've tried an Apex, but because she is unable to use a
light touch, she pushes the pins down and it ends up being more difficult
than low tech options. Does anyone know of a refreshable display that has
pins that don't push down easily or at all? Thanks for your help!
