As the month comes swiftly to an end, I can’t forget to talk about braille literacy month! 😎🎉
Braille comes in different formats such as traditional (paper) or digital (using a device), but there are also many varieties such as alphabetic, literary, and Unified English Braille.
The biggest passion I have when it comes to braille is to spread the truth AND the law:
Sec. 300.324 (a) (2) (iii)
“In the case of a child who is blind or visually impaired, provide for instruction in Braille and the use of Braille unless the IEP Team determines, after an evaluation of the child’s reading and writing skills, needs, and appropriate reading and writing media (including an evaluation of the child’s future needs for instruction in Braille or the use of Braille), that instruction in Braille or the use of Braille is not appropriate for the child.”
