However, like most changes, I believe that those in acted by you EB will be far less painful than we imagine them to be. And, at least in terms of literary, it will standardize us with the remainder of the English-speaking world. As someone in New Zealand pointed out to me last evening, that will greatly assist in the sharing of information with students in the developing world, most of whom have considerable difficulty accessing quality instructional materials. Remember also that BA NA has not set forth a timeline for implementation, which will almost certainly be years in the making. What I mean to say bye this is that there is plenty of time to learn and make the requisite adjustments. I encourage everyone to check out the frequently asked questions on the BANA website concerning UEB. They are concisely stated and should help address most of the concerns described.<br><br>I hope that helps.

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Dear David:</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Thanks for informing the list about the
announcement that bana hahas adopted UEB in the U.s.. I have two questions
regarding this topic. 1. How can a tvi teach oneself ueb? 2. How will tvis
teach their students who are currently learning the literary braille code the
ueb? 3. How can people who are fluent readers and writers of braille andtvis be
included in assisting bana to implement how to teach ueb to current braille
readers particularly blind children? Thanks for any ideas people may have on the
topic.</font></div>
