Message-ID: <000601d7150c$cdfc64e0$69f52ea0$@earthlink.net>

Hello Friends:

 

     Independence Science is in the process of reviving the Tactile
Adaptation Kit that was developed some years ago by Lillian Rankel and
Marilyn Winograd. The kit contained an assortment of supplies and
instructions which a teacher or transcriber could use to adapt or produce
tactile materials. For anyone who bought one of these kits, we would like to
know what you would want added or removed from the kit. For the rest of the
group, are there any favorite materials or tools you would like in a box of
supplies or tools. Thank you. Be safe and have a great day.

 

Regards,

 

Robert Jaquiss

 There is a bit of it under the link, but it is a book about a child
living in rural Africa, whose mum struggles financially, but he still
has dreams of getting a dog and finds one that he saves when going to
pick fruit in the forest.
