Hi Folks!

I just learned of some great manipulatives to teach spatial concepts in
math, science, engineering, O&M, and even art!  They're designed by a woman
in Canada who is interest in sharing them with students who are blind!
Check them out at:

She also offers a great hands-on workshop with her materials!  Her name is
Aniceta Skowron, Ph.D.
