Exciting news! The March 2024 issue of Sky & Telescope Magazine, features my work in making astronomy more accessible for blind and visually impaired learners. Check out the article "Seeing the Universe Without Sight." #accessibility#astronomy#SkyAndTelescopeMagazine
🧵 Now available: Touch the Solar System! This tactile/digital book (written by Noreen Grice and me!) is designed for learners to actively feel the size, scale, and features of Solar System. It is optimized for the Talking Tactile Tablet (T3). https://t.co/OLJ5ckzzWd 1/5
“Touch the Solar System” is designed for learners to explore varied aspects of Solar System objects. Tactile images inspire continued learning, and are useful both for visually-impaired people and for sighted people who respond well to alternative modes of sensory input. 4/5
Noreen Grice and I started working on "Touch the Solar System" almost a decade ago, and we are so pleased to finally have it available. You can learn more about it here: https://t.co/OLJ5ckzzWd Please feel free to share this with anyone who might find it useful. Thanks! 5/5
