Braille Device

I need to buy Braille typing device for my nephew. He is 6 year old eye-disabled child. He starts learning the Braille. I am in the UK, the child is in Uzbekistan. If there are any ways to buy it online, or any stores in the UK, please let me know. Thanks a lot.

Today, Optelec is setting the standard in Braille communication. With the introduction of the ALVA Braille Controller 6-series, Optelec presents ...

I know there is some sort of color coded light display application/device that allows deaf people to "see" music through various colors representing notes or instruments.
-But is there anything for people who are blind and deaf?
Maybe something that utilizes bass and/or vibrations?
Pherhaps a modified braille of some sort?

Please note that while sound are vibrations in the air, hearing is actually the ear's ability to turn these vibrations into an electrical signal, which is sent to the brain. If the ear cannot turn these signals into an electrical signal, or if the brain cannot get the signal, the person does not hear. There is something called a tactile hearing aid, which a person wears either on their body, such as their chest, or their fingers. This changes sound into a stronger vibration, so the person can tell when there's a sound. If a blind/deaf person wears this while listening to music, they might be able to feel the rhythm of the music, but they wouldn't be able to 'hear' it. As far as the bass goes, anybody can feel that if it's loud enough. Bass is much easier to feel (think of a loud car with the bass booming, it can rattle your windows and you can feel it in your chest), because low frequencies are turned into tactile energy at a much lower intensity than high frequencies.

Small size makes this learning tool portable
Learning Braille is fun with this tool toy

I'm trying to find multimedia for a school project, and was doing it on multimedia for disabled students. I was wondering if there was something like this out there. If so what's it called so I can do a search for more info.

Greetings, everyone! I obviously do not need a Braille Bible, (lol), but am asking on behalf of one who does. I know there are Bibles on CD, but in the interests of reading when electronic devices are not prudent. It is also understood that one such item may be costly. Many thanks in advance.

Looks like the 'all loving' God doesn't want you.

Leviticus 21:17-23 -
"Whosoever ... hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a BLIND MAN, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a BLEMISH IN HIS EYE, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. ... Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries."

How would a totally blind person identify different money denominations/paper currencies? ...Okay, we know that folding bills and putting Braille marks on them based on the denomination are among the ways to identify paper money, and size and shape of coins helps to identify coins, but since all the paper currencies in the States are the same size how could a totally blind person be sure that he/she is not being short-changed in bills? Especially, in situations where there is no one else around to help authenticate the veracity of the transaction, for instance, receiving change from a taxi driver, or where enough $1 bills may not be at hand, etc. ....Is there any way to tell by just touching the bills, for instance? ....Are there any handy (i.e. non-cumbersome) devices that can help?

Serious answers only please. ...A very dear colleague is going blind due to diabetic complications – any help would be greatly appreciated.
I thank you ALL for your kind and considerate responses.


Moon, thank you for the heartfelt compliments; I am not sure where you live, but I have lots of dear fiends in São Paulo, Brazil. I have visited there on many occasions and have truly fallen in love with the country’s incredible natural beauty and its extremely hospitable and loving people.

They are expensive, about 30,000

So far this is what I have come up with.

Wait! I found it...313 - Noteteller Talking Money Identifier - $300
Announces denomination of U.S. currency when inserted.
