I also want to respond to the original question about a curriculum for teaching braille code (UEB) to middle-high school student losing vision after already knowing how to read.
For the past year, I have been using the following with a high school student who is losing vision:

Mangold Basic Braille Program Kit Units 1 & 2
Mangold Basic Braille Program Kit Units 1 & 2
$269.00

Mangold Basic Braille Program Kits, Unit 3: UEB Contractions ($89-$169)
Mangold Basic Braille Program Kits, Unit 3: UEB Contractions ($89-$169)
$89.00

Exceptional Teaching (ExceptionalTeaching.com) is continuing to update the rest of their program to UEB. It should be ready as you progress through this curriculum. I have been happy with this curriculum and my student has enjoyed it. (We have found a few errors in print and braille worksheets not always matching.)
Hope this information helps,

Thanks, Carol. I am currently mid-way through the total revision of Braille
Too
. At this point I'm hoping to have it ready by the time school starts
next year (2017). I realize that doesn't help anyone out for this school
year, but if you've ever used it, you know it is a huge undertaking (over
900 pages)! If you have access to the original edition ofBraille Too, I
did do a UEB supplement for that, which is called UEB Too. It can either
be used with students who are learning braille using Braille Too, or as a
stand-alone curriculum with students who are already fluent with EBAE and
just need to learn the changes in UEB. For more information on that, you
can check out my website (www.brl2.com) or e-mail me directly (info@brl2.com
).

I will paste it into a reply message to the listserv.

You are awesome!

I haven't had any feedback from the presentation, but people seemed
engaged.  It was right after lunch, so there may or may not have been some
yawning going on!

I'm always looking to improve the presentation, so if you hear anything,
good bad or indifferent, I'd appreciate you passing it on.

Hi Carol,

Since I'm not on the listserve, I'm not sure if you (or anyone else) got
the message I tried doing as a reply. In case you didn't, I'm re-sending it
to you directly in hopes you could copy it and post it to the listserve.

How did your inservice go with the JSD psychs? I'm sure it went great.

Thanks for helping to spread the word about my products!

Sharon

I've copied her with this message to give her an opportunity to respond.

Hello,

I would like to know what other folks are using to teach adventitiously
blind middle and high school braille? I use the Braille FUNdamentals, which
I love, but as far as I can tell, it hasn’t been updated to reflect the UEB
changes.

Thanks!
