APH Educational Research

Tristan Gay Pierce


Multiple Disabilities Project Leader
E-mail: tpierce@aph.org

Tristan Pierce came to APH with over ten years experience as a designer, creative director, and production manager for children's educational publishing. Since completing her graduate degree in intercultural management, she has worked with teenage scholar athletes from around the world, developed art activities for international children's events, and managed a toddler house in a Haitian orphanage where many multiply disabled children live. She continues working with children as a volunteer swim coach for the Kentucky School for the Blind.

During her first year at APH, Tristan established a Multiple Disabilities (MD) Focus Group that she continues to work with on various products targeted for the MD population. Through the MD Survey, which was outlined by the focus group, an extensive e-mail database has been established for product specific surveys and field-testing. If you work with children who are blind or have low vision, as well as additional disabilities, and would like to participate in MD product specific surveys, please contact Tristan and ask to be added to the MD database. Tristan is also interested in hearing from vision professionals on the topic of independent physical fitness for the blind and visually impaired.
