What it requires

  • If you are the Public School System, provide for instruction in Braille and the use of Braille in the individualized education program of a child who is blind or visually impaired, unless the IEP Team determines after an evaluation of the child's reading and writing skills, needs and appropriate reading and writing media that Braille is inappropriate for the child (NMIAC 60-50-340(b)(3)).
  • Consider whether the child needs assistive technology devices and services when developing the individualized education program (NMIAC 60-50-340(b)(5)).
