Description
Children who are blind or visually impaired need to be able to use their other senses to gain information about the world. The sense of touch is one of the major senses that can make up for their loss of sight. However, babies, toddlers and preschoolers who are visually impaired need encouragement and opportunities to build their tactual skills. This video discusses the importance of tactual learning, the progression of tactual skills from infancy through preschool needed for preparing children for Braille reading, and how parents and teachers can help.
