Many states are able to contact their Regional Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped for assistance with having items Brailled or print images created in tactile graphics that can be felt. However, many librarians, and some state consultants, indicated they did not have easy access to Braille and tactile graphic services. The CSLP Diversity Committee has arranged for any CSLP member to have a set of tactile graphics based on activities in the 2010 CSLP manual.
These materials have been made available through the cooperation of the Outreach Department of the Wisconsin Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The Center staff, under the direction of Stacy Grandt, helped select and redesign appropriate materials that will work with children who are blind as well as children with vision impairments who use tactile graphics.
The set will include 6 tactile graphic sheets.
1) The Word Find from page 128.
2) The Parrot Pattern from page 164.
3) The Skull and Crossbones Pattern from page166.
4) The Fish Pattern from page 191.
5) The Shell Game from page 197.
6) The Smiling Crocodile Pattern from page 223.
The cost of the set will be $20.00. There will be no shipping costs.
If you have any questions about tactile graphics contact Rhonda Puntney at rpuntney@lakeshores/lib.wi.us or Barbara Huntington at barbara.huntington@dpi.wi.gov. If you have any questions about ordering tactile graphics the contact information for Stacy Grandt is on the bottom of the order form.
Please let me know if you're interested in seeing the sample set!
Orders can be placed online at www.wamp.k12.wi.us.

Yes! I will send them your way!
Thank you! They were really cool. I plan on making our own set with fabric paint on cardstock photo copies as a program craft and then talking about people with different abilities.
