Campaign Goals

  2. Michigan will promulgate rules under existing state law requiring special education teachers of blind children to obtain and maintain the National Certification in Literary Braille by 2015.
  3. Michigan will continue to improve systems to assure that Braille resources are made more available through online sharing of materials, enhanced Braille book production methods, and improved distribution of text books and related educational materials.
  4. The American public will learn that blind people have a right to Braille literacy so they can compete and assume a productive role in society.
