I am looking for some guidance around the participation of individuals who are blind in college ceramics classes. In related work to the primary activities of the National Arts and Disability Center, we work with the disability services offices at community colleges. Some questions have been raised about accommodations and participation in a ceramics class for students who are blind/visually impaired. I am looking for resources, personal experiences, ADA guidance that I might share with the colleges. Please feel free to contact me directly at oraynor at mednet.ucla.edu THANKS!

Blind artist paints a colorful world
John Bramblitt's fingertips are as perceptive as his eyes once were
Henry David Thoreau once said "the world is but canvas to our imaginations." In tonight's "American Spirit,"
<http://www.cbsnews.com/2718-18563_162-298.html> CBS News correspondent Don Teague shows us an artist who chose to speak through canvas when his world went dark.
If you ask John Bramblitt <http://bramblitt.net/>to describe the world, chances are he'll tell you it's colorful.
