[Nfb-science] Accessible Anatomical Models

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Kelly:

     It would be great if you would share the source of the models your
school purchased. Have a great day.

Regards,

Robert

You won't want to purchase these models for yourself. For my A&P class the
college purchased several new models, the most tactile we could find. We
only replaced models that had almost no tactile features (you might be
surprised at how many models were just color-coded), and it cost the college
over $24,000. Even then, many of the models still leave you in the dark, and
there are still several parts of the  course (epithelial tissue types for
example) where there were no suitable models. 

Given a few days, I can find for you the company my A&P instructor used to
find what we considered to be some of the best models available, if you
like.
