Wow! That's impressive, especially the math/nemeth standards. Great
reference that will be bookmarked.

I skimmed through and was hoping to see a specific reference to
reading speeds, but only found a reference to reading at an
"appropriate rate." It's certainly possible that my skimming missed a
more specific reference. I'm guessing there may have been some
animated discussion about how to address the issue of reading rates.

The information I've seen on braille reading rates seems to be pretty
dismal on average and feeds into the expectation that we just
shouldn't expect more than 110-115 wpm in by the time of high school
graduation...

Nonetheless, kudos to Maryland for doing this.
