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. 

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. 

Cost:      Participation in the workshop is $50 for professionals and free
to consumers and students. Continuing Learning Units (CLU) will be provided
to workshop participants. 

For more information, contact Edward Bell at ebell at latech.edu or
318-257-4554. 

 

Housing may be available on a limited basis. Contact Eric Guillory for
details: eguillory at louisianacenter.org Or 318-251-2891.

 

A registration form will be circulated by late April.
