Tek Talk Archives description:

This presentation will focus on the transition to Unified English 
Braille in the United States. Specific topics will include some 
background on the Braille Authority of North America; the general 
reasons for the transition to UEB; progress to date on 
implementation; some of the specific differences that will be most 
noticeable to braille readers; UEB and technology; where to get books 
and other documents in UEB; currently available instructional 
resources; and how to learn more. Questions from the audience most welcome.

production of braille and other alternative formats for the 
University of Minnesota, and taught braille to blind adults at Blindness:
