Core Graphics Pack (CGP): Psychology

The Core Graphics Pack: Psychology
– an Overview

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) legislation requires all educational establishments to give blind and partially sighted students equal access to learning and teaching materials.

Do you have the resources to enable you to anticipate and meet the needs of the increasing numbers of blind and partially sighted students studying psychology? Do you know how to convey complex images and concepts to blind and partially sighted students?

The well-researched Core Graphics Pack (CGP): Psychology from the National Centre for Tactile Diagrams gives you the resources you need, helping your university to provide more timely and inclusive learning and teaching in Psychology subject areas.
