VizAbility encourages cycles of reflection and action, abstract ideas and concrete examples, by alternating between experiences of reading, hands-on computer activities, and off-screen sketching on paper. The book provides a broad conceptual overview of visual thinking while guiding the reader through the interactive experiences of the CD-ROM. By actively learning from this innovative book and CD-ROM, the reader will discover his or her natural visual abilities and learn to think, imagine, and communicate in exciting new ways.
