Our mission: to support the learning and classroom engagement of students with visual impairments.

There are around 39 million legally blind people around the world and 60,400 blind public students in the US. 70% of blind adults are unemployed. To increase the employment rate and independence of those in need, it is crucial to start targeting braille literacy at a young age.

    What is in SIX?

    Compared to the Perkins Brailler, SIX is quieter, smaller and lighter. SIX also offers Braille to English translation features that would allow teachers to more easily and quickly give feedback to their blind students. School-age blind children can more easily transport their brailler between classes, or home and school, participate in classroom activities and get frequent feedback like their sighted peers.
