Assistive Tech: As Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Write Braille anywhere, anytime with the 4-Line 28-Cell Braille Writing Slate Kit. This essential piece of low-cost assistive technology is designed for NDIS participants with blindness or low vision who require a portable, manual method for taking notes.
While electronic Braille displays and mechanical Perkins Braillers are powerful, they are often heavy, expensive, and require power. This lightweight plastic slate fits easily into a backpack or laptop bag, making it the perfect backup tool for students and professionals. It allows users to manually emboss Braille onto paper for labelling items, taking quick phone numbers, or practicing literacy skills on the go.
How This Device Supports NDIS Participants
Promoting Literacy & Education: It provides a fundamental tool for writing and practicing the Braille code, supporting educational goals for children and adults learning to read and write by touch.
Facilitating Independent Organisation: Participants can use the slate to create their own labels for household items, medication, or files, reducing reliance on sighted assistance for organization.
Portable Communication: Weighing very little, it ensures the participant always has a method to record information when out in the community, much like a sighted person carrying a pen and notepad.
Durable & Safe: Made from high-quality, wear-resistant green plastic, this slate is designed for longevity. It includes a matching stylus, providing a complete writing solution in one package.
