Description of CE Program/Activity
 The intensive three-day training on the production of braille and nemeth code by braille transcribers and teachers of the visually impaired (TVI) involves the use of hardware and software applications used for the production of literary braille, math/nemeth and computer-generated tactile graphics.The objective of this training is to demonstrate various software applications and hardware devices that transcribers can use in their arsenal of tools for the production of braille and tactile graphics.Computers and embossing equipment will be provided in a lab setting and most of the presentation will include hands-on experiences.Due to the High Demand for this training We have set aside this workshop for individuals who are producing braille on a regular basis for students who are visually impaired. A completed application is required to determine if you fit the criteria for attending this workshop. Once your application is reviewed you will be informed via email whether or not it was accepted. If you are only supporting braille production personnel in your district, your application will not be accepted. We will offer this workshop in the future that will address your role in braille production.
