Teachers, instructors, consumers, and all those whose work involves the
teaching, production, and/or use of braille are aware that the United
States has adopted the Unified English Braille code by January 4, 2016 as
the standard code for literacy. <br>
The purpose of this workshop will be to familiarize participants with the
changes to the braille code introduced by UEB, and to provide hands-on
training in order to provide a solid working knowledge of Unified English
Braille. Information will also be presented on the new National
Certification in Unified English Braille (NCUEB) which will be available
later this year. <br>
<b>Cost:</b> Participation in the workshop
is $50 for professionals and free to consumers and students. Continuing
Learning Units (CLU) will be provided to workshop participants. <br>
