The aim of this study is to determine the application of NVDA based on the SAS method in improving Braille initial reading ability for visually impaired children at SLB Negeri 01 Bantul. The problem is that there are two blind subjects who cannot read Braille fluently because they lack focus, lack motivation to learn, and have low fine motor skills. This study used a talking computer that has been installed with NVDA software and the SAS method. The application of NVDA software based on the SAS method aims to improve the ability to read Braille for visually impaired children. This study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experiment method. The design of this study utilized one group pretest and posttest design. All of visually impaired students in grade 3 elementary school at SLB Negeri 01 Bantul were defined as the population. Data collection techniques were carried out using pretest and posttest.
