HI Mary, Braille input is possible using braille connect and snowleopard. I haven't tried input on the braille sense plus, mostly because I never could get the thing up and running on leopard and haven't bothered with it on Snowleopard.
I think input is also possible with the alva BC640 when using the feature pack. Unfortunately they are only set up for 8 dot computer braille entry at this point, no grade two.
