>I am the Americans with Disabilities Act Coordinator for the City of
>Miami Beach, Florida. I am designing a project with our Environmental
>Resources Manager. The project will involve the construction of a paved
>plaza located on a walkway being constructed along the beach. The plaza
>will be completely barrier-free and accessible to everyone, including
>persons with disabilities. Located at the plaza will be an exhibit
>educating people about beach conservations and wildlife, including sea
>turtles. The exhibit will be fully accessible to people with
>disabilities, including information in Braille and models of sea turtles
>and their eggs that can be touched by people with visual impairments.
> 
>Where can I get in touch with companies that can create tactile exhibit
>models of sea turtles, sea turtle eggs, etc.?
