Over the years I've worked with a very few blind stutterers who were either teens or, at least, old enough to have pretty much mastered braille. I also went to elementary school with a girl whom I'm certain was a clutterer. I have noticed that, in the braille of both of these very small samples, there is what I would call stuttering. Braille writing usually involves the use of a machine with seven keys. These keys can be pressed individually or in any combination the person wishes to produce the dot paterns of braille. My question is is there any literature out there on stuttering in braille writing?
