Hello List:
I am looking for research that addresses the effectiveness of tactile
graphics and three dimensional models as educational materials. Of course I
believe
that tactile graphics and models are valuable, but has their usefulness
actually been studied? I have been searching with Google, and so far, haven't
found
usable information. Thank you.

Hello Robert,
Of course you are right! There is much anecdotal evidence about the value of
Tactile Graphics. I suggest you talk with Steve Landow from Touch Graphics,
Inc., to see if he has any information on current research. National
Braille Press is currently investigating the subject, funded by a grant from
Reader's Digest Foundation. We are consultants for the project.
Hope this is helpful.
All the best,
Shirley
