Easy as Dots 1, 2, 3

Mike Sivill- Presenter

Last week IRIE-AT kicked off our webinar summer series with our first webinar, ALL ABOUT BRAILLE. BANA Certified Transcriber, Mike Sivill, offered an easy to follow training, perfect for the braille beginner. Covering braille origination, codes, languages and dot pattern differences, Sivill allowed attendees to gain quick knowledge and instill confidence for those just learning braille. This is especially helpful to those that are preparing to assist students requiring braille in the upcoming school year. 

Sivill also demonstrated one of the most commonly used braille translation software, the Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT). By showing the audience how easy it is to create a braille document within existing software, such as Microsoft Word with the use of a DBT add-in, Sivill was able to lift the intimidation one might feel when preparing to produce braille for the first time.

Attendees were also provided with a list of resources to further their knowledge of braille or obtain braille materials. Understandably not all that were invited were able to attend. However, IRIE-AT was able to record this session and provide this for free through our YouTube channel.
