Although it may seem that this change happened over night, in reality it
began a quarter century ago. Throughout this issue you will find articles on
resources available free to professionals in the visual impairment field to learn
Unified English Braille, thoughts from an incoming professional on making the
switch to UEB, a message from HumanWare on how technology is keeping
up with the change, ideas and strategies to teach Braille within the context of
the general education classroom, and much more.
A special thank you to all contributors to this edition, I appreciate all of
your help and willingness to write and research articles on this important
topic. I hope this special issue will make a smooth transition for you and the
students we serve.
