EJ,

Please take a look at the California Standards for Math and Reading.  These
are (I believe) the only state standards incorporating braille.  It's neat
how they do it -- they take the print standards and either incorporate
braille into them or add standards related to braille, the abacus, etc.
This process ensures that braille users have the same expectations as their
print peers.

Here is the link for the California Braille Mathematics Standards:

and the California Braille Reading Standards:
