10:00 am: Introductory Tactile Map Workshop (in-person)

10:00 am: Introductory Tactile Map Workshop (in-person)


Nov 11

LightHouse’s Rehabilitation Services and Media and Accessible Design departments are teaming up to present this free course on learning to read tactile maps.

This course is made possible thanks to a grant from the Federal Transportation Administration.

Prerequisites:

  • You must be an intermediate Braille reader
  • You must be aged 16 or up

In addition to the training, each student will take home free TMAPs of their residential area, one of the LightHouse San Francisco area at 1155 Market, as well as a tactile map of the Civic Center BART Station.

LightHouse Braille Instructor, Divina Carlson, and Senior Accessible Media and Braille Specialist, Frank Welte, along with tactile map aficionado, Jerry Kuns, will be facilitating this introductory training in the practical use of TMAP, tactile maps and tactile BART maps for Bay Area travelers. It must be noted that Jerry states he isn’t happier than when he has a good cappuccino in one hand and a tactile map in the other!

What will you learn?

  • Discover the value of tactile maps
  • Developing systematic strategies in your approach to exploration of tactile maps
  • Gaining deeper understanding of what a tactile map presents such as: symbols, line types, labels and distance, direction and environmental features.
  • Tactile discrimination techniques for map reading
  • Greater orientation to new environments
  • How could you have lived without tactile maps? How do I order more maps?

Come join us in learning the language of tactile maps. To attend, please contact Briana Kusuma, at BKusuma@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7335 no later than Friday, November 9. In your email, please provide Briana your full name, phone number and your residential address, so that we can produce your home map prior to the training.

Space is limited to 20 participants. Orientation & Mobility students may attend with their teachers. Because this is in-person, we are requesting that you provide proof of vaccination upon entry and wear a mask during the training.
