What's The Story?

This photograph shows a tactile book - tactile books are similar to regular print books but the illustrations are made to be touched rather than looked at. This type of book is particularly good for children with visual impairments.

This photograph shows a thermoformed illustration of a pair of scissors - illustrations could also be textured. The word for scissors is in braille on the page opposite the illustration.

Clearvision's initiative the Tactile Book Advancement Group [TBAG] offers advice and information on producing, using and creating tactile books - click here to visit their website.
