Do you want to know about the latest trends and techniques for producing
tactile graphics? Would you like to share your knowledge with others?

The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) National Literacy Center is
sponsoring a two-and-a-half day workshop entitled, "Techniques for
Creating and Instructing with Tactile Graphics." Participants will have
the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with various methods of
producing tactile graphics, while also learning strategies for
determining the form and content of a tactile graphic.

Afterwards, each participant will be required to conduct a two to three
hour training with at least five service providers, covering the
techniques and strategies from the workshop. (Proof of completion of the
follow-up activity will include an outline of instruction with
objectives, a list of trainees, and assessment of outcomes.)

Participants are eligible for a $500 stipend-part at completion of the
workshop and the rest after the follow-up training.
