> Capitol tour resource
> New Resource for Blind or Low-vision Visitors at the U.S. Capitol
> Visitors to the U.S. Capitol who are blind or have low-vision now have a 
> helpful new resource: an audio-descriptive tour of Exhibition Hall in the 
> Capitol Visitor Center. With direction from the Congressional 
> Accessibility Services Board, this tour was developed and produced by the 
> Office of Congressional Accessibility Services (OCAS), and allows visitors 
> who are blind or have low-vision to enjoy the Exhibition Hall exhibits 
> through a self-guided narrated tour. As exhibit documents are changed 
> and/or rotated in the displays, the tour will be updated as needed.
> This new audio-descriptive tour is available on a handheld device which 
> you can request at the North Information Desk in Emancipation Hall. 
> Visitors can also download the tour on a personal device at
> http://visitthecapitol.gov/visit/visitors found at the "Visitors with 
> Disabilities" quick link.
>
> If you have further questions or inquiries about the audio-descriptive 
> tour, please contact OCAS at (202) 224-4048, or email the Director at: 
> David_Hauck at SAA.Senate.gov. Our office is located in the Crypt of the 
> Capitol (room S-156), and additional Information about other services we 
> offer is available by searching the key word "accessibility" on the 
> House.gov and Senate.gov public websites.
