Fidget Tools, Fun Gadgets, and Braille Input Devices
In this relaxed May edition of At Your Fingertips: Braille Then and Now, we explore fun, low- to mid-tech tools that bring joy and progress to Braille learners. From Braille keychains and swing cells to the increasingly popular Braille Doodle and LEGO Braille sets, discover how fidget-friendly tools can reinforce literacy in a hands-on way. We also take a deeper look at input devices like the NLS eReader, Orbit Writer, and Hable One—comparing how each supports learning and navigation across iOS and Android. Plus, hear creative strategies for teaching the Perkins Brailler remotely and why using more than just your index fingers might improve your tactile reading. Got thoughts or questions?
