Teachers' Perceptions of Using the Mountbatten Brailler with Young Children.

Holbrook, M. Cay; Wadsworth, Anne; Bartlett, Mike

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v97 n10 p1-15 Oct 2003

A 3-year study involving 15 teachers and 15 students with visual impairments (grades K-4) evaluated the impact of the Mountbatten Brailler when used in a literacy instruction project. Teachers reported students were more motivated to write when they used the Mountbatten Brailler than when using the Perkins Brailler. (Contains 3 references.) (CR)
