Hi - Thanks to Lucy and Jim for their responses. I looked up the TTT model
you mentioned Lucy. Jim, what do you use at your school? I am wanting to
know what other schools use for producing and using tactile graphics. One
thing I like about the ViewPlus model is that it is a comprehensive package
for creating and using tactile graphics.
What are you all doing to make graphics accessible to blind and low-vision
students?
Thanks!
Karen

Take a look at touch graphics there ttt is easier to create for. They also
are working on different ways to make tactile graphics for the live scribe
pen. Not sure of the web site but they make the ttt the talking tactile
tablet witch should come up on Google.
