What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 11, 2026

This is a contracted braille edition of the Brigance Comprehensive Inventory of Basic Skills II, an assessment that checks how well a student has mastered selected academic skills. It's criterion-referenced, meaning it measures a student against skill benchmarks, not against other students. Teachers and evaluators use the results for educational planning, so it fits a school team working with a student who reads braille. It's an assessment kit for trained professionals to give and score, not a workbook for a student to use on their own.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Nothing to power on or install. The materials are used in person during an assessment.
  • With a guide
    Read the examiner's materials and the skill sequence before the first session.
  • With professional help
    1. A teacher of students with visual impairments or another qualified evaluator should choose the right sections, give the assessment, and score it. Plan time to learn the tool first, since the skills tested depend on the student's level.
    2. Review the results with the student's educational team so they feed into the student's educational plan.
