About Us

Tactile Colour Communication has worked extensively in education, home visits and accessibility evaluation. We are dedicated to assisting people to share information, learn, and have fun. We see the potential for expanding into the field of multi-sensory communication by bringing sight and touch together.Tactile Colour Communication holds workshops on how to use Tactile Colour practically and creatively. We advise individuals and groups regarding visual impairment, explain about tactile graphics and assist with making information and places more accessible.

Transit systems and public places and services have sponsored prototype maps and plans.

TACTILE COLOUR COMMUNICATION SOCIETY

is a registered charity with Revenue Canada. We have a sister organisation in the UK and work on a local, national, and international level. Most of our work has been for people with visual impairments, but we have recently begun to expand into the field of augmentative communication aids for people with multiple disabilities.

The objectives of Tactile Colour Communication Society are research, education, communication, access to information, mobility, creativity, and recreation for the purpose of independence and integration. The charity has a belief that advancements designed for people with disabilities can benefit everyone.

Tactile Colour was initiated by Lois Lawrie, a printer and graphic artist, who, having lost her sight, envisioned Tactile Colour in 1991 as a medium for artists.

Orders, donations, fundraising ideas, voluntary assistance, and feedback are always welcome.
