Catherine Summ and Suzanne Cappiello, who both work as Education Consultants for the Department of Rehabilitative Services (DORS-BESB) in CT, have created this curriculum.
We wrote these lesson plans because the United States will officially adopt the Unified English Braille (UEB) in January 2016. This change will impact classroom curriculum, leisure reading, textbooks, standardized tests and other forms of literature on a national level. We created these lesson plans in order to provide a curriculum for students and professionals already proficient in the English Braille American Edition (EBAE) code. Our goal was to create lessons that focused on the UEB but included exercises related to literacy and areas of the expanded core curriculum. These lessons may be used with individuals or in a group setting and we designed them so that they could be adapted to meet the needs of each student. We hope you enjoy using them.
