[blindlaw] Policy and Legislation Relating to Use of Braille

[ray wayne]

Lou-Ann: 
As I recall, the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has some language concerning Braille literacy.  Also, there are Braille bills that the NFB got passed in about thirty states, including New York. 
Feel free to contact me off-list or by phone, and I'll help you track down the New York legislation.
