Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to you because, as a participant at the Getting in Touch with
Literacy in Louisville, you have shown an interest in literacy for students
who are blind or visually impaired, including those with additional
disabilities.  A new website has just been launched:
www.pathstoliteracy.org<http://www.pathstoliteracy.org/>

This website is the result of a joint project between Perkins School for the
Blind and Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (TSBVI). By
combining our resources and expertise, we hope to assist educators and
families in the quest to provide literacy experiences for children who are
blind or visually impaired.

The information on this site ranges from a basic overview of literacy to
various stages of development and special challenges, as well as an
exploration of different media (print, braille, auditory strategies). We
encourage you to add your ideas and questions, so that this will be an
interactive hub of resources.

Check out the site map http://www.pathstoliteracy.org/site-map to see the
range of information covered.

Please help spread the word about this resource!

Best wishes,

Charlotte Cushman, MLS, M.Ed.
