literacy for tactile readers through the standardization of braille and/or
tactile graphics.

> The purpose of BANA is to promote and to facilitate the uses, teaching,
and production of braille. Pursuant to this purpose, BANA will promulgate
rules, make interpretations, and render opinions pertaining to braille codes
and guidelines for the provisions of literary and technical materials and
related forms and formats of embossed materials now in existence or to be
developed in the future for the use of blind persons in North America. When
appropriate, BANA shall accomplish these activities in international
collaboration with countries using English braille. In exercising its
function and authority, BANA shall consider the effects of its decisions on
other existing braille codes and guidelines, forms and formats; ease of
production by various methods; and acceptability to readers.
