Special Symbols page

Hi Dorothy
Is it correct that only transcriber devised braille symbols need to be listed on the Special Symbols page and not any that are listed within the Nemeth Code itself.
Thank you
Marilyn

If a symbol is part of the Nemeth Code it does not have to listed on the Special Symbols page. Be aware, however, that Computer Code symbols, Chemistry symbols and some literary braille symbols have to be listed.

Would this apply to a K-3 math book, following the ATIC guidelines?

I don't believe the guidelines direct that Nemeth rules should be altered. When the updated guidelines are completed there may be more detailed instructions about this. Currently, Nemeth Code symbols are not required to be listed on the Special Symbols page, even of K-3 materials. I don't intend to give any advice about this, except use your own best judgment.
