Mission

Our mission at Tactile Collective is to create high quality braille books enabling teachers, families, schools, libraries and businesses to deliver literacy accessibility.

An important part of our mission is to encourage individuals who are blind, or have low vision, to become confident, independent, functional and empowered learners wherever they may be located globally.

Vision

Tactile Collective strives to be a leader in not only producing high quality & innovative braille materials, but also in educating & connecting teachers, families, specialists & organisations globally.

To support this, we aim to build an inclusive online community that works together to ensure that all people with low vision, or who are blind, can access required materials no matter their location or socio-economic status.

We aim to raise awareness, reduce the global accessibility gap, educate the community, and provide braille supplies to parts of the world who are unable to create their own.
