title = "Technology to support emergent literacy skills in young children with visual impairments",
abstract = "Developing emergent literacy skills and attitudes within children with visual impairments is critical to cultivating their lifelong ability to construct concepts about the function of symbols and develop tactile acuity. We offer novel HCI research on the factors that impact parents' abilities to create tactile pictures to meet their child's unique needs. The findings presented here are our first steps towards developing technologies and interfaces that support teachers and parents in easily and efficiently creating unique and replicable tactile graphics for children with visual impairments.",
