Abstract for the International Conference on Tactile Diagrams Maps and Pictures 2002

Introducing the Tactus Organisation

Marion Ripley

ClearVision Project, UK

Tactus is an EEC-funded European organisation of tactile book producers. It started up four years ago with three main aims: to make more tactile books available to young visually-impaired children throughout Europe; to share ideas, resources and expertise; and to raise the profile of tactile book design and publishing. UK, France, Belgium, Italy and Finland currently participate but there are plans to extend membership within - and possibly beyond - the EEC. The third Tactus Tactile Book Competition will be held later this year.
