I recommend reviewing Art Education for the Blind's resource book Art Beyond Sight. There is a lot of research in there about blindness. It comes from the art and art museum perspective, but will likely have cross-over. Leah

Good Afternoon
My name is Sarah Yellin and I am graduate student at Harvard University working on my thesis. My thesis is on how people with blind and low vision learn in a science museum. Does anyone have any information on how visitors with blind and low vision learn? I am especially looking for information on auditory and visual learners, as well as tactile learners in a science museum setting. I am using Howard Gardner's theory on multiple intelligence a baseline.
Thanks,
Sarah Yellin
