Abstract:

Tactual Profile (TP) is an instrument that provides a procedure to assess tactual functioning in children, who are blind or who have a severe visual impairment, from birth up to 16 years of age. All the materials of Tactual Profile are shown on the exhibition. At the table you’ll also find ‘Feel Free’, an activity book, containing exercises and lesson suggestions to stimulate and train tactual perceiving and functioning. Feel Free was written as a sequel to Tactual Profile. It uses the same structure in age-levels and categories.

At the exhibition the DVD about an assessment with Tactual Profile is shown on a laptop.

Days exhibiting: Thursday Only
