-National Braille Press Names Brian A. MacDonald to Serve as President
-
-Boston, MA – April 8, 2008 – National Braille Press, a leading Braille publisher and advocate of literacy for the blind, is pleased to announce that its Board of Trustees has named Brian A. MacDonald to serve as the company’s new President. Mr. MacDonald brings with him a solid track record of success in operations, sales, marketing and donor development within the non-for-profit world.
-Mr. MacDonald holds an MBA in Marketing and Finance from Boston College and an undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Vermont and was most recently Chief Operating Officer of New Hampshire Audubon where he helped lead a major restructuring that included strategic planning, change management and improved revenue generation. He also has significant experience in planned giving, business development and building corporate partnerships. Prior to Audubon, he was the Senior Director of Sales and Revenue for over twenty years at New England Aquarium where he managed business development, operations, sales, marketing and international tourism for its business units. He formed and managed strategic alliances and partnerships to advance revenue and promote the Aquarium’s mission.
-His significant volunteer work has included four years as Essex County Director of the Massachusetts Special Olympics where he led operations, corporate development, training and regional/state competition involving 33 cities and towns with more than 750 athletes, 105 coaches and 1100 volunteers from corporate, civic and charitable organizations. He founded the Northeast Whale Watching Association; authored an economic impact study; and, testified before Congress on the reauthorization of the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
-“After 32 years, Bill Raeder has stepped down for a well deserved retirement from President of this venerable Boston based institution. Under Mr. Raeder, NBP recently inaugurated a major strategic initiative to expand our offerings and to accelerate our outreach and advocacy programs. We want to emphasize the ‘national’ in National Braille Press. Our historical success has always included a fiscally responsible budget and the solid leadership to carry it out. Brian MacDonald has the important skills and background to apply sound business practices and he brings advanced marketing skills and, most important, an authentic inner passion that soon will be felt within the blind community.” said Paul V. McLaughlin, Chair of the Board of Trustees.
-Mr. MacDonald added, “To be chosen to lead National Braille Press is a most welcome joy and privilege for me and my family. Because my grandmother read braille, I have a strong personal interest in its advancement. I realize there are challenges, especially in succeeding such a great leader as Bill Raeder. It is hoped that my leadership of the Strategic Plan for the future will continue to complement Bill’s vision of strengthening programs and building capacity while remembering NBP’s wonderful past.”
-About National Braille Press (NBP)
-National Braille Press is located at 88 St Stephen Street in Boston and for over eighty years has been promoting literacy through excellence in braille printing and publishing. Our founder, Francis B. Ierardi once said, "He who looks over his shoulder cannot see that which lies ahead." Ever since its first publication which was America’s first newspaper for the blind, NBP has never looked back and has been a leader in introducing and authoring many self help publications that are particularly geared to independent living and career development for the blind.
-Our children’s braille publishing initiatives include America’s first Children’s Braille Book Club and our family outreach program, ReadBooks! Because Braille Matters. We support these and other initiatives through a major fundraising campaign that includes our annual gala event, Hand On! Books for Blind Children. In 2007, NBP made history and the national TV and press by publishing and delivering Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to blind children on the same day as their sighted counterparts.

-Braille version of book takes up nine volumes<br />
-posted July 12, 2005</div>
-
-<p>BOSTON (AP) - Like millions of Harry Potter fans, Katherine Moss can’t wait to get her fingers on a copy of the sixth entry in J.K. Rowling’s best-selling series.</p>
-<p>And for once, the 16-year-old blind student won’t have to wait weeks longer than her sighted friends to dive into “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”</p>
-<p>The book goes on sale midnight Friday. A Braille edition is due out three days later — much earlier than with previous Potter books, thanks to a new arrangement between publisher Scholastic Inc., and the National Braille Press in Boston.</p>
-<p>Moss, a student at the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Mass., doesn’t want the book read aloud to her. She wants to savor each word of the text at her own pace.</p>
-<p>“When I read it in Braille, it takes me a lot longer,” she said. “That’s a good thing. Usually, I don’t want it to end. That’s how much of a reader I am.”</p>
-<p>For the first time, Scholastic provided the National Braille Press with an advance copy of the Harry Potter book, which is kept under tight wraps. For the past two weeks, more than four dozen employees at the Boston printing house have been working overtime to print a batch of 800 Braille copies of the “Half-Blood Prince.”</p>
-<p>Tanya Holton, NBP’s vice president of development, said it usually takes months, if not a year or two, for published books to make it into Braille form. “This is the only book we have blitzed like this before, because readers are clamoring for it,” she said.</p>
-<p>The Braille edition is nearly twice as long as the 1,100-page hardcover version. It comes in nine volumes, takes up 13½ inches of shelf space and weighs about 11 pounds. Each Braille book costs $62 to produce, but the nonprofit NBP is selling them for $17.99 — the same as Amazon.com, according to Holton. A local lumber retailer donated $100,000 to help make up the difference.</p>
-<p>More than 300 people have pre-ordered the book from NBP.</p>
-<p>Only 500 to 600 new Braille titles are published each year — about 1 percent of all books published, according to Kim Charlson, the Perkins School’s library director.</p>

-young<br />
-<i>Tuesday, November 5, 2002 Posted: 11:29 AM EST</i></div>
-
-<p>BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- Like many girls about to turn
-5, Mikaella Besson has started to learn to read. She even
-has a favorite book -- "Froggy Gets Dressed" -- which she
-reads with help from her mom.</p>
-
-<p>"She wants to read it over and over," Nalida Besson says.</p>
-
-<p>But Mikaella has never seen the words on the pages -- she
-has only felt them.</p>
-
-<p>The Besson family is among many who are benefitting from an
-expanded plan to link blind youngsters and parents with
-Braille books.</p>
-
-<p>The National Braille Press is working with the national
-Reach Out and Read program and the Massachusetts Commission
-for the Blind to distribute books, with the hopes of
-encouraging literacy among vision-impaired youngsters. The
-goal is to make people more aware of the importance of
-Braille, given that the number of children learning Braille
-has fallen 40 percent since the 1960s.</p>
-
-<p>"From a little seed it's developed into one of our major
-programs," says Bill Raeder, president of National Braille
-Press, based in Boston. "We've set a goal of reaching every
-preschool blind child in the country."</p>
-
-<p>About 55,200 children in the United States are legally
-blind, and of those, just 5,500 use Braille as a primary
-means of reading. Legal blindness is defined as having
-vision worse than 20/200.</p>
-
-<p>However, the figures don't tell the whole story, because
-some blind children have multiple disabilities and do not
-read, while some children who don't meet the definition of
-legal blindness use Braille.</p>
-
-<h2 class="subheader_b">Reading by touch</h2>
-
-<p>With Braille, those who are vision-impaired can read and
-write using a rectangular six-dot cell, with up to 63
-possible combinations of one or more of the six dots. The
-Braille is embossed onto paper and read with the fingers
-moving across the dots.</p>
-
-<p>The Besson family received books in Braille as part of an
-outreach program to encourage learning the reading system.</p>
-
-<p>Nalida Besson wants to ensure Mikaella and her 13-month-old
-sister learn to read using Braille, as their father does.
-They all have congenital cataracts, and Mikaella, who also
-has glaucoma, has undergone eight eye surgeries.</p>
-
-<p>She receives Braille instruction five times a week at the
-Agassiz School in Boston, and already she is catching on.
-"She can identify A and G -- they're her two favorite
-letters," her mother said.</p>
-
-<p>"Most of the time Braille is a better way to read," she
-said. "Once children get older, if they lose their vision
-they become disinterested (in reading) because it hurts."</p>
-
-<p>Raeder said parents of visually impaired and blind children
-need to be advocates for their child's education because
-schools don't automatically put blind children on a reading
-track.</p>
-
-<p>The youth Braille program now has health care workers
-distributing print-Braille books -- which include the
-regular print with Braille overlays -- to blind children and
-blind parents involved in Reach Out and Read programs
-nationwide. The program was founded with a $120,000 grant
-from Mellon Charitable Giving Program and is being expanded
-through a $330,000 grant from Readers Digest Partners for
-Sight Foundation.</p>
-
-<h2 class="subheader_a">An almost lost talent</h2>
-
-<p>Until the 1960s and 1970s, many blind children attended
-specialized residential schools, where Braille was taught
-extensively. But mainstreaming sent many of those children
-to public schools, which had neither the trained staff nor
-the equipment to teach the alphabet.</p>
-
-<p>At about the same time, according to advocates for the
-blind, audio equipment started replacing Braille in
-classrooms. It was more convenient, but didn't teach
-students how to read.</p>
-
-<p>According to the American Foundation for the Blind, the
-shortage of Braille teachers is nearing crisis levels. Brent
-Hopkins, a spokesman for the foundation, says 5,000 more
-Braille teachers are needed to supplement the 6,700 full-
-time Braille teachers now in classrooms.</p>
-
-<p>The foundation has sponsored legislation that seeks to make
-equal access to educational materials such as Braille
-textbooks mandatory. That bill awaits a Congressional
-committee review.</p>
-
-<p>"Braille mastery and reading and writing are central to the
-success for anyone in the world, particularly for blind and
-visually impaired people," said Amy Ruell, director of the
-Braille Press program for youngsters. "Unless people can
-read and write and communicate clearly, there's no
-opportunity for them to compete equally among sighted
-people."</p>

- <h1 class="contentheader">Braille Version of 'Harry Potter weighs in at 13 volumes</h1>
- <div class="content_area">
- <h2 class="subheader_a">The Christian Science Monitor</h2>
-
-<p>Most days, each reconditioned Heidelberg cylinder press churns out 8,000 pages an hour as National Braille Press workers collate magazines, manuals, and popular children's books by hand.</p>
-
-<p>These next few weeks, however, the staff of 49 is producing an unusually high volume of pages from this converted piano factory near Boston's Symphony Hall. They hope to ship 500 braille versions of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" within three weeks of the book's June 21 release date.</p>
-
-<p>A first printing of 500 copies will fill the needs of 10 percent of the entire K-12 market of braille readers in the US, and the work involved is no small task.</p>
-
-<p>After the text is transcribed into the correct notation - which involves spelling out words that don't contract in braille, such as "Hermione" or "Hogsmeade" - pages are punched, proofed, and pressed through the old Heidelberg cylinders. Volunteers then help the staff collate, fold, and staple the books by hand (machines would smash the braille). Finally, the 500 copies, each of which amounts to a 13-volume stack of paper more than a foot high, are shipped.</p>
-
-<p>In the end, the books will be priced the same as nonbraille versions - just under $30. "The cost doesn't even cover the paper," says Diane Croft of National Braille Press. "But we're a nonprofit, and it's our job to raise the difference. No one should be penalized for having to read braille."</p>
-
-<p>Braille literacy has declined since the 1970s, but National Braille Press President William Raeder believes it is on the rise once again. The most commonly cited figure - that 10 percent of blind people can read braille - is slightly skewed, he says, as it counts the visually impaired, many of whom see well enough to read print, and the "prereaders," who are too young to read. The actual literacy rate, he estimates, could be as high as 70 percent.</p>
-
-<p>Thanks to books such as the new Harry Potter, that number will continue to climb, Mr. Raeder says. "When compelling literature comes out, it gets children back on the bandwagon - and that's as true for blind children. [These books are] full of magic and intrigue." Although, adds Ms. Croft, her chuckle taking on a serious tone, "It would be nice if J.K. were a little less verbose in the next one."</p>

- <div class=helpfulblurb2>Reversing decline in use of braille is
-mission of Boston-based publisher<br />
-By David Mehegan<br />
-GLOBE STAFF</div>
-
-<p>It was an epochal invention, akin to the wheel or fire or ether. And yet, strangely, it has fallen on hard times.</p>
-
-<p>In 1821, 15-year-old Louis Braille, blind since early childhood, discovered a French Army code of raised bumps, used for silent night communication. He rewrote and shrank the code so that each letter symbol - a system of six dots arranged in a vertical rectangle called a cell - would fit under one fingertip. For the first time, the blind could read.</p>
-
-<p>Braille's system was eventually used in all languages and today has versions for math (using eight dots), scientific material with charts and graphs, and music, allowing blind people to read anything, almost as fast as sighted readers can.</p>
-
-<p>"It has played a vital part in my life," says Timothy Vernon, 18, of Mansfield, a member of the National Honor Society and a lector at his Catholic church who will attend Fitchburg State College in the fall. "I sometimes wonder how people without braille get through life. It's saddening that more people don't know braille."</p>
-
-<p>Saddening it maybe, but the fact is that most blind people don't. Braille literacy has fallen from as high as 50 percent of all blind people 30 years ago to as low as about 12 percent today. Reversing that trend, and restoring the place of braille, has been the main mission the past 20 years of a venerable yet little-known Boston-based publisher, National Braille Press.</p>
-
-<p>"In the last five years, we think we've begun to see a turnaround, but it's just begun," says William M. Raeder, the longtime president of the 75-year-old publisher on St. Stephen Street. As he sees it, much is at stake: "The only way for blind people to truly read and write is via braille."</p>
-
-<p>Raeder, 66, was blinded by an explosion 42 years ago, and his limited use of his one hand prevents him from using braille, but since he took over the press in 1975, the publisher has expanded its list of books and periodicals, trying to reach the blind reader with more, and more useful, reading matter.</p>
-
-
-<p>There are other braille publishers, but National Braille Press was the first, in 1982, to move from mere contract printing to publishing and selling its own books. Before 1982, individual braille readers could borrow books or get them free from volunteer braille transcribers, but not buy them. Today, about 20 percent of the press's 40 new books per year are original; the rest are braille versions of classics such as Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style" or J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter books. Most of them focus on practical concerns of blind people: cooking, gardening, staying safe, mastering daily life, or learning about computers. The press offers two periodicals: Syndicated Columnists Weekly, a roundup of newspaper opinion pieces, and Our Special Magazine, a bimonthly for women.</p>
-
-<h2 class="subheader_b">Life in the mainstream</h2>
-
-<p>One reason for the decline of braille is that blind children in the past 30 years have increasingly been "mainstreamed" - trained not in schools for the blind but in regular schools, most of which lack teachers of braille or braille literate teachers. But there's another reason: the explosion of audio technology, from simple audiotape recording to CD to voice synthesized e-mail, books, and even newspapers, which suggests to many that braille is passé. Why learn a complex system of tiny bumps, with (at a higher level) 300 shorthand contractions in addition to individual letters and numbers, when it seems every kind of subject matter can be recorded and listened to?</p>
-
-<p>Teachers of braille are exasperated by that question. "I have parents of blind children ask me, 'Why does my child need to read?'" says Louise Johnson, recently retired from the Utah School for the Deaf and Blind. "When I started teaching, people said braille is obsolete - they can get everything from tapes. I would answer, 'Fine, let's do that for everybody. No sighted children need to learn to read.'"</p>
-
-<p>The point, says Raeder, is that hearing is not reading. "When you truly read, as opposed to listening to a tape," he says, "the material is passive and you are active. You don't take in the information until you move your eyeball or [in braille] your finger you have total control over the material."</p>
-
-<p>To encourage the teaching of braille to children - who pick it up quickly - the press offers the Children's Braille Book Club: one "print/braille" book per month, previously published in print. A transparent braille sheet is added to each page of text so that a blind child can either follow along as a sighted adult reads aloud or read alone. A recent offering was Margaret Wise Brown's "Goodnight Moon." There are also books for adolescents, including books on sexuality and relationships. In a nationwide program now in a pilot stage, the press plans to get braille books in the hands of every family in the country with a blind preschooler, so that by the time the children start school, they and their parents will already have a whetted appetite for braille.</p>
-
-<p>For the blind, the liberty of reading is not taken for granted. "It was away of uniting myself to a book," recalls Paul Parravano, codirector of government and community relations at MIT and a braille reader since age 4. When he was a child, he says, family members would read aloud to him on a regular schedule, "but when I read a book like The Black Stallion' in braille, it was a way to get to the book without a third party reading it to me." Beyond pleasure reading, Parravano says braille was essential to academic success in high school, college, and law school; he could not have mastered math or science without it. Studies by Ruby Ryles, director of the Orientation and Mobility master's program at Louisiana Tech University, found a much higher income and employment rate for braille-literate adults compared with blind nonreaders.</p>
-
-<p>"We look at things as sighted people," says Anne Spitz of Roslindale, a teacher of the visually impaired for the Rockland-based North River Collaborative. "Braille looks like a lot of dots, and we think how difficult that must be, to read with the fingers. But some readers are very efficient, some read a line with one hand while the other hand moves to the next line. It's amazing." Parravano says he reads 200 words a minute. The average for blind adults, according to National Braille Press, is 150 to 300 words. (In an informal self-test, using a newspaper article, this sighted writer read 335 words a minute at normal speed.)</p>
-
-<p>There are indications that braille may be closely related to sight. A 2001 study by Ford F. Ebner, professor of psychology and cell biology at Vanderbilt University, found that when people who have been blind from early childhood read braille, the region of the brain that normally processes vision becomes more active. Though it's not entirely clear what is going on, Ebner says, "we can show that areas of the visual cortex are active when blind people read braille with their fingertips."</p>
-
-<h2 class="subheader_a">Business pressures</h2>
-
-<p>With its own editing, platemaking, proofreading, printing, and mailing operation, National Braille Press feels more like a newspaper than a book publisher. The old building, near the corner of Gainsborough Street, has windows that open on the alley behind and offices with 1950s-vintage frosted-glass partitions. During the interview in Raeder's second-floor office, the three 40 year-old Heidelberg presses - converted for braille - can be heard thrumming away on the basement floor.</p>
-
-<p>With an operating budget of $2.6 million, the press is a nonprofit in every sense. Despite high production costs, it sells books at the same list price as the same books in print. "We lose money on every book," says Tanya Holton, chief of development, and the press is continuously seeking philanthropic support. Recent large grantors include the Mellon Financial Corp. and the Reader's Digest Partners for Sight Foundation.</p>
-
-<p>There's no question that technology has irreversibly shrunk the role of braille. All of Parravano's email messages at MIT are converted to sound with a synthesized voice. And when he wants to read; the newspaper, he calls News line, sponsored by the National Federation of the Blind, and gets any story in digitized voice form.</p>
-
-<p>Still, the dream for many braille readers is not better ways to replace reading with listening but better ways to convert print to braille. Parravano has a laptop sized notetaking device with a mechanical braille panel that uses tiny pins in place of the embossed dots of braille printing. It has a keyboard, allowing him to save phone numbers, take notes or draft speeches or letters, and read his words back in the braille panel. It also has a speech synthesizer, should he want to hear what he has written. National Braille Press offers PortaBooks on disk that can be read on a braille reader. And new devices can even convert text from the World Wide Web into braille.</p>
-
-<p>Braille may be making a comeback, since 32 states in the past few years - including Massachusetts in 1996 - have passed laws mandating the availability of braille training in schools. But qualified teachers are in short supply; there is no college program for teachers of the visually impaired in Massachusetts, though the University of Massachusetts at Boston plans to create one this year.</p>
-
-<p>No one flatly predicts a strong revival of braille literacy. But Raeder insists that "braille is not going away for the foreseeable future." The power of braille, says Vernon, "is just in the availability of a book, and being able to know you can read at your leisure. If someone is going to read to you, you have to do it when they can. With a book, you can read wherever you want, even in the middle of the night. And with braille, you don't have to turn on the light."</p>

-<h2 class="subheader_b">The State of Braille</h2>
-<p>In the mid-'60s, as many as half of all blind people could read using the braille method, in which words are printed as raised bumps on paper. About 12 percent can today. Kim Charlson, head librarian at the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown gives a couple of reasons for the change:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><b>Mainstreaming</b>, the trend in the '70s toward educating special-needs children, whenever possible, in the public schools. Charlson said the practice has its merits, but only with adequate student support, including teachers who could teach braille. "What we ended up with basically was a generation of kids who didn't have the opportunity to learn braille."</li>
-<li><b>The advent of electronic aids</b>: Audio brooks and, more recently,
-talking computers have become useful tools. But "the ability to read and write is very important," Charlson said, adding that 9 out of 10 blind people who work use braille every day. "One thing that's interesting about the writing part is that it is truly independent. You don't need power, or even lights."</li>
-<li><b>Today braille is taught regularly</b> to about 250 students in kindergarten through grade 12 in Massachusetts, a figure much higher than the 65 or so before passage of the braille Literacy Act in 1996, which required braille to be taught. Still, the total pales next to the population of students who would benefit from it, about 2,300. The law requires it, but, Charlson said, there is a shortage of qualified teachers.</li>

- <p class="floating_quote" style="margin-right: 8px; width: 250px; float: right;">
- "He who looks over his shoulder cannot see that which lies ahead."<br />
- -- Francis B. Ierardi
- </p>
- <p>Francis B. Ierardi, born September 1, 1886, in Armento, Italy, migrated to this country with his family in 1887, settling in New York City.</p>
- <p>On August 10, 1898, at the age of twelve, Francis lost his sight when a dynamite cap in a box of nails he was playing with exploded. After this accident, Francis sold newspapers to supplement the family income. In 1901 Francis persuaded his family to move to Boston so that he could attend the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Massachusetts;
-however, due to residency requirements he could not be admitted. Instead he took a job in a shoeshine parlor in Boston's South End. </p>
- <P>During this period a gentleman customer to the shop became interested in Francis. This gentleman was Robert Brigham, a member of the Perkins Corporation, who interceded in Francis's behalf and arranged to have Francis admitted to Perkins School for the Blind.</p>
- <p>After graduating from Perkins, Francis was able to obtain employment as a social worker for the Massachusetts State Division of the Blind. As a field worker he met many other people who were blind. It was this personal association that ultimately changed his life's purpose. He wrote about his feelings at the time.</p>
- <blockquote>
- <p>"During the early days of World War I, when momentous things were taking place and world news was in the making, I realized for the first time how inadequate was the source of information for those who could not read daily newspapers or weekly reviews. The blind and deaf-blind were dependent upon others to keep them posted on what was going on about them. Naturally, this medium of information was colored with personal opinions, and the braille reader could not discuss topics of the day very intelligently.</p>
- <p>"I wondered why someone could not sponsor a braille weekly newspaper. The seedlet of a dream was formed, in that year of 1918, of having a braille weekly newspaper for the blind. From 1918 to 1927 there was not the slightest hope of starting such a publication, for there was no money with which to finance the establishment of printing presses nor even for the purchase of paper stock.</p>
- <p>"Approaching the Massachusetts Association for Promoting the Interests of the Adult Blind, in the hope of realizing the $500 minimum cost of starting such an experiment, I was told that this organization would provide $200 if I were able to interest another source of funds in the amount of $300. Our benefactress, Mrs. Homer Gage, made this $300 gift.</p>
- <p>"Messrs. Christian Herter and Richard E. Danielson, then publishing the <I>Independent Weekly</i>, agreed to supply the carbon copy of <I>The Week in Review</i>. In this way, the first edition of our publication -- <I>The Weekly News</i> -- came out on March 17, 1927, before the inkprint copy was on the newsstands.</p>
- <p>"At first this periodical was intended to be only statewide, but the demand became so great from readers in other states that after the experiment passed three months, it was decided to make it a national publication. Steady growth and increased reader interest eventually brought us international prominence throughout the English-speaking world.</p>
- <p>"We started in the old Perkins Work Shop -- an old wooden building with but one exit at 549 East Fourth Street, South Boston. Volunteers, working evenings, produced the first issue of 200 copies, which were stitched by hand, collated, and rolled in paper. We had no mail bags, and by taxi we transported the magazine to the South Postal Annex in mattress ticking.</p>
- <p>"Our initial small fund lasted but three months. The success of our beginning and the realization of the need for the publication led Perkins Institution for the Blind to grant us a gift of $1,000 to complete the year 1927.</p>
- <p>"This was complete vindication of our hopes, for the late Dr. Edward Allen, then Director of Perkins, in his attempt to prevent me from facing disappointment, tried in every way to discourage the publishing of a weekly, pointing out that in Philadelphia they had found the brailling of a weekly impractical and were forced to discontinue the project. He suggested a monthly issue, but I felt that much of the purpose of our publication would be obliterated through a monthly printing of news items, and insisted that if we were to provide <I>The Weekly News</i>, it must be on a weekly and timely basis. Even today, this is the only periodical of its kind in this hemisphere."</p>
- </blockquote>
- <p>Ierardi soon discovered that keeping the press alive was as formidable a task as giving it life. From 1927 to 1946, National Braille Press occupied six different buildings -- leaning on the generosity of such Boston institutions as the Women's Educational and Industrial Union and the Paulist Fathers -- before settling at its present location at 88 St. Stephen Street.</p>
- <p>After almost four decades of leadership, Francis Ierardi retired from National Braille Press in 1965, whereafter he served as a consultant. He died in 1967.</p>

- <div class=helpfulblurb2>Successful Boston program plans to go nationwide in hopes of
-reversing a precipitous decline in literacy among blind children.<br />
-By ELIZABETH MEHREN<br />
-Times Staff Writer</div>
-
-<p>BOSTON - Like many 5 year-olds, Mikaella Bresson is learning to read. So is her mother, who at 32 recently earned graduate degrees in law and public policy.</p>
-
-<p>The two are studying Braille: Mikaella because she is blind, born with congenital cataracts and glaucoma that stole all but the faintest trace of her vision. Her mother, Nalida, although fully sighted, has been poring over a Braille manual designed to promote fluency in the medium that many advocates for the blind say offers the most effective path to literacy.</p>
-
-<p>"Many public school teachers today will say, `Oh, it's too cumbersome or too hard to learn' - or, `You don't need it because you can hire a reader,' or, `Use computers or tape recorders,'" said Eric Clegg, who is in charge of Braille productions for the California Department of Rehabilitation. "They are wrong."</p>
-
-<p>Clegg, 55, who was born prematurely and blind and who reads 300 words per minute in Braille, added: "From Braille comes literacy."</p>
-
-<p>Nalida Bresson's Braille textbook came as part of a package that is distributed to families with preschool-age blind children by the National Braille Press in Boston. Armed with grants from foundations sponsored by Reader's Digest and other philanthropies, the nonprofit publishing house is poised to go national with a Boston program called "Read Books! Because Braille Matters."</p>
-
-<p>The plan to encourage sighted parents to serve as Braille educators and advocates for their blind children captured the attention of First Lady Laura Bush, who last month agreed to serve as an honorary chairwoman.</p>
-
-<p>Working with state agencies as well as organizations that assist the visually impaired, the project hopes to reverse a prec1pitous decline in Braille literacy. In the early 1960s, according to Braille Press, 52% of blind people 18 and younger could read Braille. By 1990, the figure had dropped to 10%.</p>
-
-<p>The "very, serious drop" in Braille literacy occurred gradually, National Braille Press President Bill Reader said. Beginning in the 1960s, as blind children were taken out of special schools and placed in mainstream classrooms, most public schools de-emphasized reading for the visually impaired. Teaching Braille in public schools required special teachers - and, some argued, made blind children feel stigmatized and self-conscious.</p>
-
-<p>Taped books became an acceptable substitute for Braille reading. The advent of technology such as voice-activated computers also made the practice of running fingers across a page coded with raised dots seem anachronistic and intimidating. "All this - the problem of Braille literacy not being promoted and promulgated in our schools and homes - kind of snuck up on us," Raeder said.</p>
-
-<p>The consequences of Braille illiteracy are all too familiar to Raeder, a former geologist who lost his sight in 1960 in a dynamite accident off the Alaskan coast. The explosion also claimed his right hand and all but two fingers on his left.</p>
-
-<p>He has tried to learn Braille on three occasions, "but I just don't have the sensitivity in those two fingers to be able to distinguish all the characters.</p>
-
-<p>"I have been able to get up to three to four words per minute, and after that I have to interpolate. It doesn't work very well."</p>
-
-<p>The deficiency nags at him during meetings where both blind and sighted people are present, Raeder said: "A blind person who reads Braille is able to refer to the papers they are discussing, and I can't. Or the blind person can read from prepared notes - and I can't."</p>
-
-<p>From figures compiled from agencies nationwide, Raeder estimates that "Read Books!" material will be going to about 7,000 blind children 7 and younger. Many more children in this age group are unable to see, often because of problems associated with extreme prematurity, Raeder said. Those children often suffer from multiple physical problems that prevent them from reading at all, he said.</p>
-
-<p>But Amy Ruell, a blind psychotherapist who is coordinating the "Read Books!" program, said the effort to promote Braille may be hindered by a shortage of teachers versed in Braille. "I know of children in Massachusetts who get an hour of education in Braille a week," she said. "Can you imagine a sighted child getting one hour a week in reading instruction?"</p>
-
-<p>"Parents need their children to be as `normal' as possible," she said. "And many of them still think of Braille as some mysterious code."</p>
-
-<p>At her home in Boston, Nalida Bresson said she is determined that both she and Mikaella will master Braille. "Nothing can replace literacy," she said. "Not a computer, not a tape recorder- nothing can replace the excitement of actually having the words under your fingers."</p>
-
-<p>But the process of reading Braille is coming more quickly for Mikaella than for her mother.</p>
-
-<p>"It is so much easier to learn as a child. The mind can do so many things when you are young," Bresson said. "But if I work at it, maybe I too can read in the dark one day."</p>

- <div class="content_area">

- <p>"Tonight you have focused on how we are alike, rather than on how we are different. This is the essence of integration. And that's what this award symbolizes to us, and to the people we serve. We accept this award on behalf of our founder, Francis B. Ierardi. Tonight you have recognized him as a peer."</p>

-<font color=BLACK size=+1>Bill Raeder's Retirement Letter</font>
-<P>February 12, 2007
-</p>
-<P>
-Dear Friend,
-</p>
-<P>
-After 31 years at the helm, I have decided it is time to retire from my position as president of National Braille Press. You are one of those I want to inform of this, before the news is broadcast in our newsletter.
-</p>
-<P>
-No specific date has been set; it will depend on the time required for the Board of Trustees to recruit and install a replacement. Their newly formed Succession Committee, charged with this recruitment responsibility, has a preliminary goal of completing the task this coming fall. You will hear more from us as succession plans are further developed.
-</p>
-<P>
-The time just seems to be right. Somehow, over the course of these three decades, with wonderful staff, trustees, donors, and braille readers, we have realized a steady growth and development in the variety of services offered, in the number of blind people served, and in the charitable support raised.
-</p>
-<P>
-In the late '70s, we built our braille transcription and pressing capacity to serve other organizations wishing to communicate with their braille-reading constituents. In the '80s we reinvigorated our publishing program. We added our Children's Braille Book Club, <I>Syndicated Columnists Weekly,</i> and a steady flow of information pamphlets and books helpful to blind people in all sorts of activities - from operating computers and cooking, to baby care and job-seeking. In the '90s, we became more acutely aware of the needs of blind schoolchildren, and started our braille textbook transcription service, now serving primary and secondary students in all 50 states and Canada with educational materials including the all-important standardized achievement tests. In the current decade, we added our <I>ReadBooks! Because Braille Matters</i> program, to seek out and serve families with preschool blind children across the country, to broaden awareness on the part of the parents of the importance of braille literacy, and to stimulate early reading by the children.
-</p>
-<P>
-Now, we have in the last year developed a strategic plan to further build on our success in all these programs, with added emphasis on components such as expanding relations with parents and teachers, and tactile graphics. We found we have been right on regarding our mission, and well-directed toward addressing unmet needs. Our challenge now is to forge ahead with renewed energy and creativity in the further growth and development of our services and new strategic initiatives.
-</p>
-<P>
-As these challenges keep coming, as the Press gets larger and more complicated to manage, and as I advance in my eighth decade of life, I am finding that the lifting is getting heavier. What better time to pass the reins to someone with new energies, new ideas, and new inspiration - to pass them on now, when the Press is at its best, and opportunities arising from our strategic plan are great.
-</p>
-<P>
-I have loved my work here, and have been truly blessed with a most fulfilling career. I now look forward to a more relaxed pace, with time to read and to travel, to stay <I>en rapport</i> with friends and family, and to explore new vistas - and to opening a new chapter in my relationship with National Braille Press.
-</p>
-<P>
-With warm and appreciative regards,
-</p>
-<P>William M. Raeder
-<BR>President

-
-<P>Earlier this summer, the Boston-based National Braille Press raised more than $565,000 through its auction and fund-raiser celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Children's Braille Book Club. "The purpose of the Book Club is to enable a blind person to own a book at the same price as a sighted person," said Tanya Holton, v-p of Development for NBP. "Prior to this, they would have had to borrow the book from the Library of Congress or purchase it at four times the cost. A $6.99 children's book would be almost $30." What makes the book club titles so affordable is that publishers donate the physical books and then NBP interleaves clear plastic pages that have the Braille text - and in some cases, Braille descriptions of the art.
-</p>
-<P>At the fund-raiser, NBP announced that will play ball with the National Basketball Association and its Read to Achieve literacy program. The NBA has already sponsored the Braille sheets for Frank Asch's [page BC0804]<I>Happy Birthday, Moon</i></a> (Aladdin), when it was the selected book for the Children's Braille Book Club. Boston Celtic Walter McCarty was so moved by the fund-rasier that he and his wife, Erin, volunteered to sponsor the Braille sheets for David Kirby and Allen Woodman's [page BC0704]<I>The Cows are Going to Paris</i></a> (Boyds Mills).</p>
-
-<P>Going forward, the NBA will include schools with blind children learning alongside sighted children and specialized schools for the blind in its literacy events.</p>

- <h1 class="contentheader">Braille Makes a Comeback with the Potter Generation</h1>
- <div class="content_area">
- <h2 class="subheader_a">Albany Times Union</h2>
- <div class=helpfulblurb2>By WILLIAM BRANTLEY<br />
-Staff Writer
-<BR>November 14,, 2004</div>
-
-<p>When Sirena Carroll gets going about Harry Potter, go ahead and call the giddy patrol. The 18-year-old's voice rises and quickens as she describes her all-night reading binges, her favorite scenes from the series, her life-size cardboard cutout of Harry, her wizard-themed Halloween costumes and her request (denied by her parents) to legally change her name to Hermione.</p>
-
-<p>Eventually, like someone unable to keep a secret, she bursts into a spot-on impression of Emma Watson, the young British actress who has played Hermione in the movie adaptations of the first three books. "If I can't even get a feather to rise off a desk with a simple spell, then I can't say that I'm good at everything!" Carroll says in her best Oxford drip.</p>
-
-<p>Then, Sirena again, she says, "I can't wait for the sixth book. If it takes (Rowling) too long, I'm going to have to go after her."</p>
-
-<p>Like many FOPs (Fans of Potter), Carroll, who attends high school in Westchester County, survives the long gaps in between installments by rereading what's already out. A quick look at the numbers: <I>Sorcerer's Stone</i> she's read 20 times. <I>Chamber of Secrets</i>, six times. <I>Prisoner of Azkaban</i>, 12 times. <I>Goblet of Fire</i>, 8 times. <?I>Order of the Phoenix</i>, two times and counting.</p>
-
-<p>That's a lot of Hogwarts, and considering that Carroll's read it all in braille, it's even more than it seems. Typically, one page of single-spaced print translates into two or three pages of braille. <I>Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix</i>, the fifth installment of the series, consists of 13 volumes in braille. On the shelf, the book is almost two feet wide.</p>
-
-<p><B>Tracking Braille Literacy</b></p>
-
-<p>Because of a degenerative condition, Carroll was born with sight but began losing it as a young child. By the age of 5, she was blind. She began learning braille in the first grade. </p>
-
-<P>Carroll might not have learned braille, says Tanya Holton, vice president for development at National Braille Press, the Boston-based nonprofit that publishes braille editions of the Harry Potter books.</p>
-
-<p>In the early 1960s, says Holton, the braille literacy rate among school-aged blind children was about 50 percent. By the early 1990s, only 10 percent of the nation's roughly 60,000 school-aged blind children could read braille.</p>
-
-<P>One common reason cited for the significant decrease in braille literacy, says Holton, is that medical advances have allowed babies to survive after being born more and more prematurely, says Holton.</p>
-
-<p>"While in the past, more children were born 'just' blind, Holton says, "today, blindness may be just one of many disabilities with which a child must deal." In other words, because of learning disabilities, many blind children are unable to learn braille.</p>
-
-<P>Another reason that fewer blind children were learning braille, says Holton, was "the mainstreaming of blind children into public schools. For many reasons, having blind kids in with other kids has been a great thing. But what often happened was that it was considered 'easier' to give a blind child books on tape than to teach him braille."</p>
-
-<p><B>Attitude Change</b></p>

-<P>By the early 1990s, says Holton, parents and educators of blind children were fed up with that attitude. "As parents of a sighted child, you'd be outraged to have a school administrator say to you, 'We're going to give your child a book on tape instead of teaching him how to read, because it's easier,'" says Holton. "I try to urge people to think of braille in the same way as they think of print for a sighted child. A blind child is at a similar disadvantage if he cannot read braille."</p>
-
-<p>Since the early 1990s, according to the National Federation of the Blind, 32 states have enacted braille literacy legislation. (New York passed such a law in 2000.) Although the fine print varies from state to state, says Holton, the purpose of the legislation is to put the onus on the state to provide braille instruction when and where it's needed. Today, nearly 85 percent of blind children attend public schools, and because of the legislation, more children are being taught braille.</p>
-
-<P>"In the past 10 years, we've seen an increase in braille literacy, at least among the kids who can learn braille," says Holton."</p>
-
-<P>Local and nationwide braille advocacy programs have also helped. NBP, for example, started ReadBooks!, a nationwide braille literacy program that tries to encourage parents of blind children to read with their children, to instill in them, early on, a love of reading.</p>
-
-<P><B>Library Help</b></p>
-
-<p>For Carroll and other visually impaired readers in New York, the Talking Books and Braille Library (a division of the New York State Library) is also a vital resource. Although she owns her Harry Potters, Carroll borrows from the TBBL, which send braille and audio books to residents of the 55 upstate counties of New York.</p>
-
-<p>The library, housed in the basement of the Cultural Education Center in downtown Albany, ships out hundreds of braille books a week, plus thousands of audio cassettes.</P>
-
-<P>Like many of the library's more than 40,000 patrons, Tina Murphy, an administrative assistant at TBBL, uses both braille and audio books.</p>
-
-<P>"I used to prefer braille, but I started to get neuropathy in my hands," she says. "So my hands get really cold and my fingers get numb and desensitized. It's like getting blurry vision." Because of the neuropathy, Murphy uses a lot of audio material.</p>
-
-<P>Still, knowing braille helps her do things she couldn't otherwise do. At work, she occasionally transcribes short pieces of text into braille. In meetings, she can take notes using a tool that allows her to write what is essentially shorthand braille. She prefers using braille cookbooks, because she can browse easily through a recipe for forgotten measurements. Plus, sometimes, Murphy just wants to feel the feel of a book in her hands.</p>
-
-<P>"Every now and then, I'll order a braille book just for grins," she says. "You know, you don't have to plug it in. You can take it anywhere. And really, there's nothing like being able to hold a book and sit down and just read it."</p>
-
-<P>Especially if it's a book you're going to read again and again and again.</P>

+ <h1 class="contentheader">Tour National Braille Press</h1>
+ <div class="content_area">
+<p>Braille production is a complicated process involving many different steps. The information below outlines the major points in the production process. However, the best way to understand braille production is to experience it for yourself. That's why we encourage people to <a href="#tour">tour our facility in person </p> or listen to an audio tour [http://www.nbp.org/nbp/media/interview.m3u].</p>
+<h2 class="subheader_a">Transcription</h2>
+<p>The braille production process begins in the Transcription Department, where special software is used by staff transcribers to transcribe the written word into braille code. The transcriber then reviews the document to ensure all code is correct. Our transcribers' extensive training enables them to transcribe literary, math and music braille; to transcribe in multiple languages; and to earn certification by the Library of Congress.</p>
+<h2 class="subheader_a">Proofreading</h2>
+<p>Experienced braille proofreaders are employed to find any errors in the transcription. These proofreaders examine pages of braille - often comparing the transcribed braille document to an audio version of the original print document - and note mistakes on either a Braillewriter (braille typewriter) or a braille notetaker (a portable electronic braille device). Like the transcribers, our proofreaders go through extensive initial and ongoing training that enables them to proofread a variety of braille formats. The proofreaders are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of our braille.</p>
+<h2 class="subheader_a">Embossing</h2>
+<p>Once a braille document has been proofread, it is ready to be embossed. An electronic file containing the document's transcribed braille code directs one of two Plate Embossing Devices (PED) to emboss braille dots on to zinc plates. The PED is capable of embossing on both sides of a plate, which is referred to as interpoint braille. It takes 35 seconds for the PED to emboss one side of the plate, and a full page of interpoint braille can be embossed in under two minutes. A second check from our Proofreading Department ensures the PED machinery has embossed accurately, as these plates serve as our template for producing multiple copies of the same page. After being used to create many copies of paper braille, the zinc plates are recycled.</p>
+<h2 class="subheader_a>Pressing</h2>
+<p>After the braille plates have been made and any errors corrected, the plates are used to produce braille copies in high-volume on one of three Heidelberg sheet-fed presses modified for braille production. When only a small number of copies are required, the electronic file containing the transcribed braille code is input into braille embossers (similar in operation to a conventional computer printer) rather than creating zinc plates that are mounted on the presses. Our pressing services also include offset printing, mainly for large-print documents and paper book covers.</p>
+<h2 class = "subheader_a">Tactile Graphics</h2>
+<p>After carefully planning the graphic design, the next step is to construct a template or "master" using ordinary materials like heavy gauge aluminum foil, tracing wheels, carbon paper, string, and cardboard cut-outs. Braille labels identifying key components of a diagram or drawing are embossed on heavy paper and glued to the master. In addition to this "collage" method of creating a master, three-dimensional images can be made using a special type of braille embosser such as the Tiger Embosser, which utilizes electronic files to create shapes and images with raised lines and dots. Copies are made by placing the master in a heated vacuum press called a Thermoform Machine, which melts the plastic Thermoform pages around the master to form the image. (link to more info about tactile graphics)</p>
+<h2 class="subheader-a">Finishing</h2>
+<p>Finishing staff collate and fold the braille documents by hand. All work is checked for quality then bound with a stitch or ring binding. Some projects may consist of thousands of soft cover, magazine-style copies, while others may consist of hundreds of hardcover editions with stamped print or printed graphics.</p>

-We will teach you:
-<OL><LI>To transcribe standard material into contracted braille;
-</li><LI>To read braille by sight;
-</li><LI>How tactile pictures are created;
-</li><LI>The differences among advanced braille codes.
-</li></ol></p>
-<P>
-National Braille Press is situated on a lovely tree-lined street near Symphony Hall. Parking is available on site. Call to inquire how you can start a new career and become a provider of braille materials for blind people.

-<a name="4"><h2 class="subheader_a" style="width: 550;">Braille Transcriber FAQ</h2></a>
-
-<p class="content">
-<B>How much money can I earn as a transcriber?
-</b><BR>
-It varies depending on how fast you are (without losing accuracy) and how many hours you work (full- or part-time). An average transcriber earns $40,000, but we have experienced transcribers who earn upwards of $70,000 annually.
-
-<BR><BR><B>Will NBP hire me after I complete the course?
-</b><BR>We do not guarantee employment to graduates of the course, although we anticipate hiring top graduates. It very much depends on what our in-house and subcontract work needs are at graduation time, as well as the quality of the graduates. However, we will work with every graduate to identify the many organizations across the country that hire both full-time and part-time transcribers.
-
-<BR><BR><B>Do I have to work full-time as a transcriber, or can I work part-time?
-</b><BR>There are many options for a braille transcriber. We prefer that our in- house transcribers work full-time. Home transcribers (independent contractors) set their own hours, and are paid based on the number of pages transcribed.
-
-<BR><BR><B>Do I have to know any computer programs to work as a transcriber?
-</b><BR>You need to be proficient in Word. To excel as a transcriber, you will need to become proficient in other types of software such as Adobe, scanner software, Excel, file conversion software, etc.
-
-<BR><BR><B>What, exactly, will I learn in the Braille Transcriber Course?
-</b><BR>This course is designed to teach the rules for using contracted braille in the preparation of braille documents. Also included is an introduction to advanced braille codes, tactile graphics, and technology for producing braille. Students will gain experience with reading braille by sight and writing braille. The focus of the course is the completion of Lessons 1-20 of the Instruction Manual for Braille Transcription. For successful completion of this course, students are required to submit a trial braille manuscript to the Library of Congress, and receive certification as a braille transcriber.
-
-<BR><BR><B>What does it mean to be certified by NLS?
-</b><BR>NLS stands for National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, which is a branch of the Library of Congress. They grant certification to braille transcribers through an exam process. Certification from NLS is the standard requirement for braille transcribers in the US, although you can work as a transcriber while working toward your certification. With certification, you can market your skills to any braille organization, of which there are many across the country. This course will help prepare you to take the exam, but we do not offer certification; only NLS can bestow that honor.
-
-<BR><BR><B>How many braille codes are there?
-</b><BR>The standard braille code used by most people in this country is literary braille, which is what our course teaches. There are separate math and science (called Nemeth), music, computer, and chemistry braille codes. There are also very specific guidelines in braille for formatting, flow charts, and tactile graphics.
-
-<BR><BR><B>What are tactile graphics?
-</b><BR>Tactile graphics are raised line drawings of pictures, graphs, diagrams, etc. Skilled transcribers who wish to become tactilists needs additional training, which we hope to provide in the near future.
-
-<BR><BR><B>How much of a time commitment is the Braille Transcriber Course?
-</b><BR>Two hours a week of in-class time, and roughly 4-6 hours of homework. lWhat do I need to bring to class? We will provide you with books, which should be brought to every class. You will also need a computer at home (not required in class).
-
-<BR><BR><B>Any cost for supplies?
-</b><BR>Roughly $25.
