Hi Folks!
I just learned of some great manipulatives to teach spatial concepts in math, science, engineering, O&M, and even art!  They're designed by a woman in Canada who is interest in sharing them with students who are blind!  Check them out at:
http://www.geometro.net/
She also offers a great hands-on workshop with her materials!  Her name is Aniceta Skowron, Ph.D.
