Overview

Braille Writer Loan Program

Funder: Kentucky School for the Blind Charitable Foundation

Geographic Scope: Kentucky statewide

Purpose: Provide braille writers to visually impaired students and adults. A braille writer is a device similar in concept to a typewriter that allows users to produce braille by embossing raised braille dots on special heavyweight paper.

Impact: The foundation has provided over 600 braille writers to students and adults throughout the state.

Why This Matters:

  • Braille writers are essential communication devices for people who are blind or visually impaired, much like pen and paper are for the sighted

  • Cost: $750 per machine makes the loan program valuable for access
  • Eligible Applicants:

  • Visually impaired students

  • Adults who are visually impaired

  • Kentucky residents
