What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
The Brigance CIBS-II in Contracted Braille is a comprehensive criterion-referenced assessment tool used by educators and specialists to evaluate a student's skill mastery across academic and developmental domains — delivered entirely in Grade 2 (contracted) braille. Rather than producing a norm-based score, it identifies exactly which skills a student has and hasn't yet acquired, giving IEP teams concrete starting points for instruction. This is a complete assessment kit intended for use by a teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) or a special education professional familiar with braille literacy. At nearly $1,400, this is a significant investment best suited for a school district or educational program rather than an individual family purchase.
