Tactile games for the blind and visually impaired

Tactile games for blind and visually impaired children are a means of forming and developing the skills and abilities that everyone needs. They promote the development of fine motor skills, finger sensitivity, memory, logical thinking, and spatial orientation skills.

Children with visual impairments really need communication. If the tactile game involves teamwork, it provides the most important skill of communication and interaction with other people. Tactile games for the visually impaired teach children to be attentive, follow the rules of the game and think through the next step, help them experience vivid emotions and make decisions independently and take responsibility for them.

Developmental games and devices for blind and partially sighted children of all ages can also help teach them to read and write Braille.

If a person has been blind since childhood or has lost their sight for a long time, it is much easier for them to accept themselves, adapt and learn new ways of behaving, maintain independence and consolidate the necessary skills: develop tactile sensitivity, learn to navigate in space, relying on their own memory, sounds, smells, relief surfaces and other non-visual cues.

It is very difficult for a person who has gone blind suddenly to adjust and learn new ways of perceiving the world around them. It is not easy for them to learn the embossed dot Braille alphabet and learn to read independently with their hands. It is games and devices with Braille that help to complete the rehabilitation period faster, learn new ways of transmitting information and return to active life.
