You want the message from BANA or what's best for the student? LOL
All kidding aside, many agencies are requesting Nemeth before the change and
incorporating UEB. So, it's contracted UEB with contracted Nemeth.
BANA Guidelines are extremely challenging for the pre-UEB reader since they
wish to incorporate code switches and Nemeth in grade 1.
I recommend a gradual change because students should not be concerned with
legibility in a math class. Learning the braille should be in braille class. If
you have the opportunity to tweak for each student's needs, that's awesome.
Just my two cents.

Subject: [duxuser] nemith and ueb
Sorry I know this has been asked but here I go:
I have a doc with math equations which I open in Duxbury. Should I be using PRE
UEB, or UEB with Nemith? When I open the doc in UEB with Nemith, all of the
numbers are in literary format.
My students are using UEB but for math docs I have been opening them in PRE UEB
and it reads the math type correctly.
I guess our students will be very versatile...they seem to have to know all the
braille pre-post-during-in-between....
