Janice Carroll, Owner since 2016.

Starting Bluegrass Braille was a goal of mine for my retirement years. My 36 year career in the blindness field encouraged me to continue by utilizing my computer skills and certifications to better serve the blind and visually impaired. Since 2016 Bluegrass Braille has transcribed approximately 34,000 pages of braille and created over 150 tactile graphics. We use Duxbury Braille Systems’ products DBT, SWIFT, and NIMPRO.
