Hi Kate and any other Gemmers interested in this subject
Lots of useful ideas and links, I hope, on these pages of the ABC of Working with Schools re object handling and working with visually impaired people.

Subject: Object Handling
Hello,
I am hoping to begin some object handling sessions with an organisation working with visually impaired individuals. I would appreciate any tips and ideas from people who have undertaken similar work. For example what types of objects worked best, realistic group sizes, best practice guides for working with visually impaired individuals, etc.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Best wishes,
Katie
