Launching the Next Generation Perkins brailler
The new colourful addition to the Perkins brailler range, the Next Generation is lighter, smaller and quieter, yet still produces excellent braille. Available in midnight blue and raspberry. Priced from £495.00.
Pocket braille frames
Keeping a braille frame in your pocket or bag can be handy when shopping. You can add a note to a receipt, mark up bank notes, label an item you have purchased or make short notes. Choose from the upward writing Braille King pocket frame or the traditional writing Mini-slate notebook braille frame.
Drawing with your Perkins brailler
Producing outline pictures on a Perkins brailler helps with spatial awareness and understanding pictorial representation, and is a lot of fun. This book contains step-by-step instructions for creating 36 drawings, including simple shapes, more complex pictures such as elephants and trains, and designs for Valentine and Christmas cards. Both the braille and print versions of the book include the actual dotty pictures to show the completed drawings. Price: £19.99 each.
