Customized Braille: AEA Supports Students in Learning Braille Contractions

Did you know Iowa's AEAs provide comprehensive Braille services to support students who are blind or visually impaired? Access to Braille materials ensures these students have equitable access to educational content, and the way those materials are prepared can make a big difference in how students learn.

Our Library of Congress-certified Braillists don’t just transcribe materials—they customize them to align with each student’s current stage in learning Braille contractions. This means students receive materials that are tailored to their individual progression, whether they are just beginning to learn uncontracted Braille or are gradually being introduced to contracted forms. This customization helps build confidence and fluency in Braille literacy.

Our services include:

• Transcription of instructional resources into Braille
• Production of tactile graphics
• Customization of Braille materials to match a student’s current understanding and use of Braille contractions
