Recommendations for Improving the Provision and Use of Braille for State-Mandated Assessment
2023
Abstract
This practice brief outlines a series of recommendations for improving the timely provision and use of high-quality braille – both embossed and electronic – and tactile graphics for state-mandated assessment. The primary target audience for these recommendations is State Education Agency (SEA) assessment leaders and others at the state-and national level who are responsible for ensuring that braille readers are full participants in their state assessment, whether general or alternate. Most desirable is that these recommendations will initiate conversations between and among states, districts, braille service providers, and test developers. Accompanying Q&A guides are being developed to assist users of the recommendations. As they become available, Q&A guides for each recommendation will be published on this page.
