Braille Production Service
The Braille Production Service at the MAB-Mackay Rehabilitation
Centre, through a contractual agreement with the Quebec Ministry of
Education, undertakes the transcription of didactic materials from
print to braille, for the English speaking students in elementary
and secondary schools in Quebec. In addition, braille requests from
the community and clients are evaluated, and if feasible, can be
produced for a fee. All braille produced by the Braille Production
Service meets the standards set by The Braille Authority of North
America.
The Service provides:
- English contracted and uncontracted braille
- French uncontracted braille
- Nemeth (math/science) braille
- print/braille books
- tactile diagrams, maps and graphs
- Braille Library of approximately 3,000 titles
- courses in braille transcription
- promotional work with community
- part-time summer employment and funding of two braille-using
students
- an annual Braille Writing Event for students and clients
The Braille Production Service aims to promote an awareness of
braille and its importance to the blind and visually impaired.
