Braille Authority of North America are to assure literacy for tactile readers
through the standardization of braille and/or tactile graphics. BANA promotes
and facilitates the use, teaching and production of braille. It publishes rules,
interprets and renders opinions pertaining to braille in all existing codes. It
deals with codes now in existence or to be developed in the future, in
collaboration with other countries using English braille. In exercising its
function and authority, BANA considers the effects of its decisions on other
existing braille codes and formats; the ease of production by various methods;
and acceptability to readers.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>For additional resource
