[Roanna Bacchus]

Dear Members,

My name is Roanna Bacchus and I am totally blind. I was born in the Winter of 1990 in Boston, Massachusetts. As a toddler, I attended the Early Intervention program at the Perkins School For The Blind. I am passionate about making sure that all blind children and adults receive their materials in an accessible format. Two years ago I graduated from the University of Central Florida with my Bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I also have a minor in Mass Communications. Earlier this year, I went to the Working With The Experts conference in Tampa. My mom and I attended a workshop that talked about tactile graphics. I joined this list to learn more about the research that is available on tactile graphics.
