Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Puppts with Blind People


One of the depressingly few books published by the now defunct Ontario Puppetry 
Association Publishing Co. was:

Oatman, Kae. Breaking through the Barrier: Puppet Play with the Profoundly 
Handicapped. Willowdale: OPAPC, 1981.

I'd hate to describe blind people as "profoundly handicapped," but there might 
be something in there nevertheless.


Good luck,
