Changes Coming to the Braille Code--Are You Ready?

In 2012, the United States adopted the Unified English Braille Code, and the Braille Authority of North America has lots of documentation to learn about the changes to the code. Go to www.brailleauthority.org/ueb.html to learn what the changes are, how the changes are being implemented, etc. 

There will be 9 contractions that will be going away: by, into, to, ble, com, dd, at ion, ally, and o'clock. There are also some changes in punctuation. If you'd like to get a chance to learn the changes and practice your brailling, http://uebonline.org offers a free online course to learn about the changes.
