A new website has just been launched: www.pathstoliteracy.org<<a href="http://www.pathstoliteracy.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pathstoliteracy.org/</a>><br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Check out the site map <a href="http://www.pathstoliteracy.org/site-map" target="_blank">http://www.pathstoliteracy.org/site-map</a> to see the range of information covered.<br><br>Please help spread the word about this resource!<br><br>Best wishes,<br><br>Charlotte Cushman, MLS, M.Ed.<br><br>Project Manager<br>Training and Educational Resources Program<br>Perkins School for the Blind<br>175 North Beacon Street<br>Watertown, MA 02472<br>www.pathstoliteracy.org<<a href="http://www.perkins.org/" target="_blank">http://www.perkins.org/</a>><br>www.perkinsarchives.org<<a href="http://www.perkinsarchives.org/" target="_blank">http://www.perkinsarchives.org/</a>><br>www.perkins.org<<a href="http://www.perkins.org/" target="_blank">http://www.perkins.org/</a>><o:p></o:p></p></div></blockquote></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
