To make sure that you have the right rules file, verify these two lines in it:

   453: RUN+="brltty-wrapper"
   457: RUN+="brltty-wrapper -C"

Is your rules file now named 90-brltty.rules?

The brltty-wrapper script looks for the brltty executable by command search 
path, so it depends on what that is on your system while it's booting. If you'd 
like to force it in order to check out the possibility, there's a way to do 
that. Create a second brltty rules file that'll run earlier than the main one, 
and, within it, set BRLTTY_EXECUTABLE_PATH. So, for example:

/etc/udev/rules.d/80-brltty.rules:
   ENV{BRLTTY_EXECUTABLE_PATH}="/usr/bin/brltty" 

You can tell udev to reload any changes to its rules with the command:

   udevadm control --reload
