NEUHAUSER, Kenneth, Department of Geosciences, Fort Hays State University, 415 Lyman Drive, Hays, KS 67601, kneuhaus@fhsu.edu

Techniques in teaching structural geology lab to a totally blind student during face-to-face weekly ‘hands-on’ sessions will be discussed. The focus will be on the use of specific rock samples, rock cores, relief maps, clay models, diagrams and graphs created using a heat pen with swell paper, as well as stereonet basics using a basketball. Additionally, apprenticeships involving field and museum projects on Pleistocene fauna will be presented.
