Braille Challenge
The Braille Challenge is the only academic competition of its kind in North America for students who are blind or visually impaired. Braille Institute developed the Braille Challenge to motivate students to practice and hone their braille literacy skills, which are essential to academic and employment success.
Any blind or visually impaired student in grades 1 - 12 who can read and write braille is eligible to participate in the Braille Challenge. All Contestants are divided into five categories and tested on fundamental braille skills such as reading comprehension, spelling, speed and accuracy, proofreading, and charts and graphs. Contests are proctored by volunteer Teachers of the Visually Impaired and scored locally by volunteer transcribers, based on national guidelines.
All students can compete in the preliminary Braille Challenge events, which are held from January through the end of March throughout the United States and Canada, but only the top 50 students (10 in each category) with the highest scores are invited to Los Angeles for the final round - two days of competition, camaraderie and fun!

    Information on writing and self-publishing are widely available from many sources. However, since this video is from the Braille Institute, I hoped it would describe the process of publishing in braille, an aspect of publishing for which information is scant. I have a non-fiction how-to manuscript with steps and instructions that must be read carefully, a sentence or word at a time. I've discussed my WIP with dozens of blind people. Every one has told me it needs to be in braille. A few have added it could also be an eBook, with readers navigating the content by word or sentence using their screen reader. I understand I can hire my own braille transcriptionist, who would produce a BRF file. Then what? Can I sell it on Amazon and if so how? Are there print-on-demand businesses that would enable hardcopy?

    Thank u for taking the time to educate us. I’ve had bad vision most of my life, I eventually gave up on treatment because doctor did not explain in detail the need of eye ball injections. I quit all treatment for lack of insurance, I now will be in danger of losing drivers license. I eat very healthy, all greens, fish n chicken. Thanks 🙏🏻
