Supporting Braille and Tactile Learners in the Classroom
Our session this month focuses on practical strategies for creating accessible learning environments and meaningful classroom activities for learners who use braille and other tactile learning media. We will review key concepts related to braille, and tactile graphics, and explore simple approaches for making classroom content accessible. We will also highlight tools, resources and further learning opportunities to help you feel more confident and prepared to meet the needs of tactile learners in daily instruction.
