Many studies have provided suggestions to meet this need for tactile resources in STEM classrooms. These resources include braille labeling, tactile labeling, providing hands-on models, and providing tactile images (Kumar, et al., 2001; Supalo, 2005; Winograd & Rankel, 2007). Similarly, the research described in this report also described the development of a new type of tactile graphic. Despite these ideas, resources, and suggestions, blind and VI students continue to demonstrate low participation in STEM suggesting that the problem is more complex and should be investigated further.
