Nationwide Service • Based in Lolo, Montana
Trusted by educators, families, and accessibility professionals, we provide nationwide Perkins Brailler repair and braille production services to institutions of all sizes — with loaner braillers available if you need one while yours is in the shop.
Services
Montana Braille Wright provides services for blind and low-vision students and adults. We don’t offer general educational tutoring or support for other learning challenges — we stay focused on what we do well.
Every repair includes a full inspection, internal cleaning, lubrication, and precise mechanical tuning. If a machine needs parts, we source and install them so it leaves in better condition than it arrived — from a sticking key to a full rebuild.
Literary UEB and Nemeth transcription, formatting, and proofreading, produced under Library of Congress certification for schools and institutions that need accurate, reliable materials.
A broken brailler shouldn’t mean a student goes without. Loaner machines are available on request while yours is being serviced.
Guidance and support for families, educators, and agencies who need dependable braille tools and want to get equipment and workflows right the first time.
Recurring care for organizations with several Perkins Braillers in regular use — planned inspection, cleaning, and tuning instead of waiting for a machine to fail.
Tactile maps, diagrams, and visual materials produced alongside braille transcription when visual information needs to be made accessible.
Who this is for
I specialize in Perkins Brailler repair, cleaning, adjustments, and accessibility support. My goal is simple: keep braillers in classrooms, homes, and training centers working the way they should — quietly, consistently, and without frustration.
Every client receives clear communication, fair pricing, and fast turnaround. I understand how essential a working brailler is, and how disruptive it can be when one breaks, so quick and reliable service comes first.
