Speaking without Words
Nonverbal communication is an important part of how you "speak" to others. The best part is: just as you can choose what words you use, you can also choose what facial expressions and body language you use! How and how much you choose to communicate is entirely up to you!
Accessible Measuring Tools
Measurement is the process of finding a unit (often a number) that tells something about an object or event. We can measure distance, size, weight, volume, temperature, and much more and there are lots of fun accessible tools to help us!

A Tour of National Braille Press
Producing braille begins with transcription. Transcriptionists use special software, such as Duxbury, to transcribe written/print words into braille code. Most books arrive at NBP in hard copy and are scanned into a digital file, although some do arrive digitally. Braille code looks similar to HTML and other computer coding, using different sequences for complex formatting of braille letters, words, paragraphs, and pages. Transcriptionists need to look at all the pages, fix contractions, number the pages, and format the words center, bold, italic, etc before the braille copy is reviewed by a proofreader.

Our Board
The Friends of National Braille Press is a valued part of the NBP family supporting our work for braille and tactile literacy. Friends are designated by our Trustees, and recognized at NBP's Annual Meeting each June. The role of each Friend is to be an NBP ambassador, and an advocate for our work through networking and corporate introductions to broaden our reach, and to help strengthen NBP's community.
Research & Development
CBI aims to be a hub for braille research and technology. As part of NBP, CBI's hope is to spread the word on the importance of braille and tactile literacy, while developing products to put it directly in the hands of the blind community.
