Hello:

     The extension keys are available from Howe Press, the manufacturer of 
the Perkins Brailler.

My son used extensions on the keys of the Brailler.  His hands were small 
and he did not have much finger strength, so his teacher decided to try the 
extensions.  They worked well while his hand strength improved.  I'm not 
sure where the teacher got these extensions, but I can try to find 
out.Regards,Maria  > From: christi_an at msn.com> To: blindkid at nfbnet.org>
