Tactile Map Book

Aiming to create opportunities for students from all sections of society, a key component of CIET NCERT’s efforts towards accessible education is developing inclusivity for special needs students. As a part of the efforts to build UDL based learning systems that advocate sensitivity and awareness for this section of the society, tactile map books are developed for visually impaired students. The Tactile Map Book uses the latest state-of-the-art techniques to produce embossed (tactile) maps that are easy to comprehend via touch. The maps have been thoroughly tested and re-iterated based on the feedback generated by a number of visually impaired students and organizations working for the blind. This book contains 7 tactile maps covering the physical, geo-political and environmental representations of India along with their description in Braille.
