[accessibleimage] Forwarding a mail from Nina Levent

Dear Friends:

We are looking for support materials (first choice: research
papers and evaluations;
second choice: model programs; third choice: testimonies)
that will show the tangible
benefits of art education,
making art, exposure to art and variety of visual
information for blind people.

Among the tangible benefits are
Braille literacy
Orientation and mobility skills
cognitive development
sensory development: tactile skills, fine motor skills, etc.
academic skills: vocabulary, language skills, critical
thinking skills
employment prospects for blind adults
socialization and communication skills, cooperative learning
mental health benefits for seniors and others

Thank you very much for your help.
