An accessible conference by the Ohio Museums Association

Published April 2, 2025 by Tom

Last year I had the honors to set up the accessibility committee for the Ohio Museums Association conference, which took place last weekend in Athens, Ohio.

Tactile Learning: The Role of 3D Printed Objects in Education for the Blind

Published March 13, 2025 by Tom
