us for a workshop designed to get you thinking about how to design
effective and meaningful tactile graphics and models to engage people
with and without vision. Explore the differences between visual and
tactile experience, and learn how to use that awareness to thoughtfully
plan, create, and select successful tactile representations and objects
to serve constituents and engage audiences. You’ll also review
strategies on how to implement the tactiles well, and how context can
impact a tactile’s meaning. Please register by emailing
