Making a high school accessible

Laura Messinger All Messages By This Member #2016 Hi fellow O&Mers! If someone wanted to modify a high school to make it more accessible to blind and visually impaired, where would I go to look for resources? Or who would you recommend that I talk to? The stem club would like to make a 3D map of the high school and implement changes within the building to make it more accessible.? Thanks, Laura?

Michael Byington All Messages By This Member #2020 开云体育 To get the statistics as to what constitutes accessibility, including details on what Chris has provided, the Americans With Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) is an excellent source. It can be obtained off of the U, S, Access Board’s website you two for doing Behind The Music. I love the Community Karaoke folks too, but it reminds me sometimes of top 40 AM radio, while Behind The Music reminds me more of the alternative rock station I used to listen to late at night back in the late 1960s and early 1970s/ Michael Byington, Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist (COMS) > President of Kansas Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Inc. >> Membership Coordinator for Friends In Art of the American Council of the Blind >> 712 S.
