Tactile books are invaluable for young visually-impaired children. As well
as being a lot of fun, they help to develop tactile skills, vocabulary, and
spatial awareness. They can also be used for numerous early learning topics.
This workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss ideas for books, sources
of materials, production methods and health and safety issues. There will also
be an opportunity for some 'hands-on' exploration of tactile materials and the
chance to design your own book.
