Astronomy for the Visually Handicapped

Content Provider	Scilit
Author	Lacombe, Pierre
Copyright Year	1990
Description	It is important to add that in addition to the general public and all the students and teachers involved in school systems, the planetarium community in general tries also to reach some special groups of the public. The groups could be those with hearing problems, those who have never seen any stars (the visually handicapped), amateur astronomy groups, and even gifted students. As you can imagine, these special groups represent a very small fraction of our attendance at the planetarium but they need special treatment, and for that reason many planeteria around the world have at one time or another prepared a unique program in the star theater for them, built new and special exhibits, or given technical tours of their installations.
