Tactile books and games for preschool kids

After Lynette Rudman struggled to find suitable tactile books for a blind child in her pre-school class, she decided to start her own series. Each book is handmade and includes uncontracted braille and large print on every page.

Lynette also makes educational games for preschool children in South Africa. View her catalogue and order products at www.tactilegraphics.co.za.

Join the Parent's network!

During a recent Education Think Tank, it was decided to establish a nationwide network of parents of blind and partially sighted children – including those with additional disabilities and those who are deafblind – to inform and support each other and to promote quality education for their children at every level, from infancy to university.

If you are the parent or guardian of such a child, receiving or requiring education – or if you know of such a child, please forward your contact details to Cathy Donaldson at 083 7014246 or 011 753-1607 or email mwcathdo@mweb.co.za.
