[nabs-l] Chemistry Braille Code

[Chris Nusbaum]

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the summer season and that those of us who must still try to conquer end-of-school burnout are overcoming it or at least trying to.

So I'm taking Chemistry 1 next year and trying to prepare. I'm told that there is a specific Braille code used for chemistry, which I think is a part of the Nemeth Code. One of my IEP goals for this year is to learn the code in preparation for my class next semester. However, my TVI does not know the choistry code very well at all and therefore has not even started work on it. So my question is this: how detailed is the chemistry code, if there in fact is one? To those of you who have taken chemistry courses, did learning the Braille code require much preparation time prior to the start of the class? Like other math subjects, could I learn the relevant symbols as I need them in the class and not fall behind? My concern is that with only a week of school left, I will not be able to have the time I need to learn the code and could begin the course with a very limited knowledge of the code I need to use. I would appreciate any and all thoughts from those who have experience with chemistry and the associated Braille code.

Thanks in advance,
Chris Nusbaum
