I've been in touch with a number of resources, including the Jewish Braille Institute and the Society of Blind and Dyslexic Students in Israel, but we are still having difficulty producing the materials he needs in a usable format without retyping by hand. Brailling transliterated works seems promising, but many of the original books that we are working from do not include vowels, making useful transliteration very complicated. Would you happen to know of any members who are experienced with braille production, or who perhaps might have some of the books he needs in a braille format? Many thanks, Jane Vincent Jane Berliss-Vincent, A.M.L.S.
