opment needs.
It will take many years to move completely to
UEB, thus professionals will need knowledge of both EBAE and UEB (along with
Nemeth).
There is a great need for instructional materials for both professionals and students.
Other English-speaking countries have already created some materials that can be
found on the BANA website
(www.brailleauthority.org).
There is a great need for research on when
and how to transition students to UEB.
There were many other topics discussed at the
meeting that DVI will be providing information on
in the future. But for now, we would like to begin
with a formal overview of the major literary braille
changes from EBAE to UEB. The next article was
provided to DVI from BANA for publication with
the DVIQuarterly. However, it can also be found
at the BANA website, along with many other resources.
Please be looking for more articles, resources,
and discussions in the coming issues as we attempt to provide supports to the DVI membership
during this transition time.
