Summary

Existing law requires local educational agencies to identify, locate, and assess individuals with exceptional needs and to provide those pupils with a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment, with special education and related services as reflected in an individualized education program. Existing law requires local educational agencies to provide opportunities for braille instruction for pupils who, due to a prognosis of visual deterioration, may be expected to have a need for braille as a reading medium. Existing law defines braille for these purposes as the system of reading and writing through touch commonly known as "Standard English Braille, American Edition." This bill would instead define braille as the system of reading and writing through touch commonly known as Unified English Braille.
