Device Demonstration: Breakthrough Technology Teaches
Mathematics in Braille
Sally Mangold, Ph.D., a renowned Braille educator with
over 30 years of teaching experience, will demonstrate
the latest developments for the Speech Assisted
Learning (SAL) system at the National Science
Foundation (NSF) on September 26.
With SAL - an electronic tutor Mangold developed -
children can study Braille with only occasional support
from an instructor and adults can use the device for
programmed instruction. At the demonstration, Dr.
Mangold will discuss the device's successes and introduce
its new mathematics tutor and Spanish-language capability.
