Our Mission

The mission of the National Braille Association, Inc. is to provide continuing education to those who prepare braille, and to provide braille materials to persons who are visually impaired.

 

A Braillist’s Pledge of Professional Ethics

I pledge to:

·        prepare braille materials in an accurate, timely manner, without personal interjection,

·        refrain from using any information obtained in the performance of my duties in a manner that would be detrimental to the agency or person for whom the material was transcribed,

·        treat all material transcribed as confidential unless the material is publicly available or an agreement has been obtained in writing that the information may be disclosed,

·        conduct business in a professional manner with dignity, respect and courtesy,

·        accept assignments as dictated by my knowledge of the subject matter, braille skill competency level, and ability to complete the assignment on a mutually agreed upon date, and

·        continuously develop the highest levels of knowledge and skills through professional development in my chosen specialty.
