Hi Caroline,
i think you'll find what you're looking for at the braille Authority of
North America's website.

Subject: [duxuser] Sighted users and 6-key Entry


Hi everyone.  I am particularly interested in hearing from sighted users
on this issue.  In the class I am currently teaching on the use of DBT,
I have a sighted user who has no prior braille knowledge.  I'm wondering
how people with no braille skills handle working in translated braille
documents?  are there specific settings that you use to make this
easier?  Also, is there anywhere that I could get a list of the print
punctuation and how it translates into braille?  For example, a print
Comma when written in the braille file is actually the dot 6.  I'm
looking for some sort of quick reference sheet that would help this
individual to know the translated symbols, and maybe even give an idea
of what it would look like on the screen, or at least give the dot
numbers.  If any document of this nature exists I'd love to find it!
SMILE!!!  Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Caroline
