| 1404 | + | 11 that they are unable to read and write at a level comparable to |

|---|
| 1406 | + | 13 who show evidence of progressive vision loss that may result |
|---|
| 1407 | + | 14 in functional blindness. Each student who is functionally |
|---|
| 1408 | + | 15 blind shall be entitled to Braille reading and writing |
|---|
| 1409 | + | 16 instruction that is sufficient to enable the student to |
|---|
| 1410 | + | 17 communicate with the same level of proficiency as other |
|---|
| 1411 | + | 18 students of comparable ability. Instruction should be provided |
|---|
| 1412 | + | 19 to the extent that the student is physically and cognitively |
|---|
| 1413 | + | 20 able to use Braille. Braille instruction may be used in |
|---|
| 1414 | + | 21 combination with other special education services appropriate |
|---|
