The ridges on the TACTUS keyboard guide the fingers to the right key.
These tiny ridges will ensure that your vision impaired student is not left behind.
Most vision impaired students have difficulty learning to touch keyboard. Now the TACTUS keyboard allows your vision impaired student to learn touch keyboarding without effort. Students with intellectual impairment also benefit from TACTUS. The idea? We have added tiny ridges to twenty keys of the standard qwerty keyboard. These ridges “guide” the fingers on the keyboard and make learning to type immensely easier. But please don't just take our word for it, prove it to yourself with your own students. Visit our web site and e-mail us and we will send you a complimentary TACTUS keyboard for evaluation in your own classroom.
