Some states have locations where people can go and check out different assistive technology devices of all types for a variety of disabilities, and I'm wondering if your state might have something of this type. You could also call our national office at 410-659-9314 and ask to be connected to the international braille and technology center and perhaps one of the staff members can assist you with this inquiry as well. I do hope this information is helpful.
Thanks,
Kat
