Description

Which print graphics can be most effectively rendered in a tactile format for students with visual impairments? What information is most essential in these images, and what are the best methods for conveying that information? How does a TVI make sure the original intent of a graphic is preserved while providing the braille reader with efficient access to the information? Spend some time with us learning how to determine the instructional purpose of print graphics, use a planning and organizational document to design meaningful tactile graphics, and create viable tactile graphic solutions.
