Professional Development

Update

After 20 years of the BEST Grant, we were not awarded funding for the upcoming cycle. We are currently reviewing our next steps and will continue to provide updates on how we will move forward in supporting braille literacy. Thank you for your support!

The BEST Grant provided professional development and technical assistance dedicated to braille literacy, braille instruction, braille materials, and braille technology in Ohio schools.

As part of the BEST Grant's goals to support the implementation of braille instruction and braille technology, the BEST Grant provided the following professional development trainings and webinars.
