Ratajeski met with Clark to discuss how he could support her and find out more about how she learns best. The professor realized there were few ready-made tactile resources for blind students studying geosciences and took matters into his own hands -- creating models and tactile course materials that Clark could feel with her fingertips. After Clark graduated in 2017, Ratajeski continued that work -- creating a digital repository of tactile graphics for other students and professors to print out and use in their classes. Tactile Graphics Learning through touch is very important to Clark, now 25, who started learning Braille when she was 5 and became almost completely blind when she was a teenager. Throughout her K-12 education, a staff member created tactile graphics for Clark with diagrams and pictures annotated in Braille. She didn't find that same type of support in higher education.
