A Utah student recently became the first student in the U.S. to use the Tactonom Reader, which makes it easier for blind and visually impaired people to work independently with graphic information.
OGDEN, Utah — A student at the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind recently became the first student in the United States to use a specific piece of technology.
Ostergaard-Welch says she came across Inventivio, a German-based company that makes the Tactonom, at a technology convention in California last year. She said the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind footed the bill for two of the devices, which normally cost $5,500. She said they got a $500 discount."It has streamlined the experience for the reader in that they can locate an item on the graphic and push enter, and the camera — if you will — will be able to locate what it is that they're wanting to know about," said Ostergaard-Welch.

'Monstrous births' and the making of race in the nineteenth-century United StatesFrom the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, 'monstrous births'—malformed or anomalous fetuses—were, to Western medicine, an object of superstition. In 19th-century America, they became instead an object of the 'modern scientific study of monstrosity,' a field formalized by French scientist Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire.
