abbreviate Unified English Braille into UEB on title page in literary

[Susan Farnsworth]

Hello. I hope that this is the proper Forum for this question.  Our agency has been discussing if it is acceptable to abbreviate Unified English Braille into UEB for the title page of a literary book? Our agency supplied many textbooks under EBAE, so writing out the full code name was understandable when UEB was first adopted in the United States. But it's been over ten years now, so can the base code be abbreviated? We are also no longer doing textbooks, so this would be strictly for leisure books for school children. An example would be:

Transcribed 2026 into UEB by Susan Farnsworth

Thank you.

An agency can certainly make the decision to abbreviate UEB on the title page. Most of the agencies that I work with have already switched to "Transcribed 2026 into UEB by ..."

As you and your agency make this change, I would suggest that it apply to both textbooks and novels (leisure material).

Under the current guidelines, when submitting exams for certifications, I recommend spelling out Unified English Braille.

Thank you very much for the response. We will update our agency documents to reflect this decision. We are only working on novels and children leisure material, no textbook work anymore.
