<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">I am working with a blind student and had some questions about braille grades. When using a braille printer, do you print for students using Grade 1 or Grade 2? From the research I have done it
seems that for textbooks and longer form documents Grade 2 is the standard since in truncates words and allows for fewer pages. Is Grade 1 viable for a college level textbook or would that be too cumbersome for the student? I can understand Grade 1 being used
for in-class assignments but for a full textbook it seems like it would make the text challenging to navigate. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
