=The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) states that students who are visually impaired must be provided with Braille instruction and educational materials in Braille. The school system will purchase published materials that are in Braille for these students; however some materials, such as teacher created resources, will need to be created using a braille embosser. The example uploaded here demonstrates how the braille would be inserted in the places of the words in the book.=

Section 614 (d)(3)(B)(iii)

(B) Consideration of Special Factors.--The Individual Education Program (IEP) Team shall—

(iii) in the case of a child who is blind or visually impaired, provide for instruction in Braille and the use

of Braille unless the IEP Team determines, after an evaluation of the child's reading and writing skills,

needs, and appropriate reading and writing media (including an evaluation of the child's future needs for

instruction in Braille or the use of Braille), that instruction in Braille or the use of Braille is not

appropriate for the child.
