Straight Talk About Vision Loss with Noreen Grice

The Executive Director of the NFB Jernigan Institute, interviews Simply Consistent , Inc., client Noreen Grice.

Mark Riccobono discusses the new tactile Braille-print book, Touch the Invisible Sky, with co-author Noreen Grice.

"Touch the Stars was breakthrough thinking because ..it seems..that people made assumptions about what a blind person would be interested in and could accomplish...the planetarium shows were not geared toward being pictorially descriptive...many Museum exhibits were behind glass cases....I say that when you make programs and facilities accessible, they are interesting and more valuable to everyone because everyone has a different learning style.

Accessibility also means opportunity for people who have disabilities to learn, experience and maybe choose science as a career..I believe that anything is possible!...why set up limitations?"
