Displays
Tactile Display 2010
Each year, the RIDBC Renwick Students completing the literacy course are required to produce a tactile map and story book in braille for students in the early years of schooling. This year's braille books and maps are visually and tactually appealing and should prove popular with braille learners, parents and teachers. The books and maps will become valuable resources for our graduating Renwick students when they enter the professional field of vision impairment.
