On our accessible #Playground, the #Xylophone is not only a functional musical instrument and bench, but each key also has an affirmation in #Braille so our students can engage in both auditory and tactile ways. ๐ŸŽถ

Embossed #TactileGraphics from the early 1900s by French educator Martin Kunz turned nature into something #Blind students could feel. He hand-carved molds and pressed paper to create raised illustrations with braille descriptions. Our Perkins Archives hold dozens!

Behind every early diagnosis is a family looking for support, answers and community. Thanks to a generous #CummingsGrant from @CummingsDotCom, we can continue our critical work by supporting even more children with disabilities through our Infant-Toddler Program and CVI Center.
