Abstract(in English) This study intends to produce a learning support system for middle-aged and elderly people with acquired visual disabilities. Most people with acquired visual disabilities in Japan are eager to be occupationally independent through obtainment of licenses to perform services such as "Riryo". Riryo education" means School of massage, acupuncture, and moxibustion for people with visual disabilities. Some of them have great difficulty in reading/writing Braille and operating PCs. Our investigation results related to studying tools shows that the use of Braille and PCs has decreased in the classes. We have been developed new note-taking system in Braille-type mode, "L.L. Writer". Our students in "Riryo" training courses of NRCD and the other cooperator use and evaluate this system.
