I was contacted by a 5th grade teacher who is currently teaching her students about the solar system. The class includes visually impaired children. She asked if materials existed she could use to teach these students the concepts of the solar system. Is anyone aware of existing materials that teach a tactile method of the solar system? The teacher has located posters representing nebulas in relief, but not the planets.
I would appreciate any thoughts you may have to pass along to her and her class.
Thanks, Paul
