Teaching Braille Letters, Numerals, Punctuation, and Contractions to Sighted Individuals
Putnam, Brittany C.; Tiger, Jeffrey H.
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v48 n2 p466-471 Sum 2015
Braille-character recognition is one of the foundational skills required for teachers of braille. Prior research has evaluated computer programming for teaching braille-to-print letter relations (e.g., Scheithauer & Tiger, 2012). In the current study, we developed a program (the Visual Braille Trainer) to teach not only letters but also numerals, punctuation, symbols, and contractions; we evaluated this program with 4 sighted undergraduate participants. Exposure to this program resulted in mastery of all braille-to-print relations for each participant.
