BANA Board Adopts
Guidelines and Standards for Tactile Graphics!
(Excerpt from press release)
The Braille Authority of North America (BANA) held its fall 2010 meeting in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on October 29 - November 1. CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind), a BANA member organization, hosted the meeting, which followed the 2010 CNIB Conference titled "Now I Know My ABCs: Access, Braille, Communication." All events were held at the CNIB Centre in Toronto.
Perhaps the most exciting action on the agenda was BANA's approval and adoption of the long-anticipated Guidelines and Standards for Tactile Graphics! This unique document has been developed through a joint project sponsored by BANA and the Canadian Braille Authority (CBA) and will now go through production processes to make it available for purchase. BANA also approved several other clarifications to current braille codes and guidelines. The specifics of these decisions will be broadcast through press releases, email announcements, and postings on BANA's website at www.brailleauthority.org.
If you would like to stay up-to-date with BANA activities and rulings, sign up for BANA-Announce, a one-way email list that disseminates official BANA information. To join this list, send a blank email message to bana-announce-subscribe@brailleauthority.org and follow the directions in the confirmation email that will be sent in response.
Watch for more information about here and how the guidelines and Standards will be available- www.tactilegraphics.org
