| Target |
Visually impaired infants and children in the lower grades of elementary school Kindergarten and elementary divisions |
|---|---|
| Disability category | visual impairment |
| Teaching units / Applicable scenes | activities for independent living pre-school education |
| Specific purposes |
To enable infants and children to: • get used to writing with a writing material in their hand • gain the wrist flexibility and pen pressure necessary for drawing • enjoy learning basic skills for drawing • foster the image of shapes |
| Considerations for disability characteristics |
In the use of framed teaching materials, tracing the frame enables users to deepen their understanding of the basic handling of writing materials. The use of a surface drawing sheet (i.e. a raised writer) by people with visual impairment enables them to confirm by touch what they have drawn. In addition, repeated tracing causes the sheet to be cut out, enabling the user to confirm its shape. |
| Expected effects and results |
The children’s ability to handle writing materials will improve. Their interest in drawing will increase. Their interest in—and understanding of—shapes will increase. |
| How to use | Place a sheet of plain or colored paper or surface drawing sheet for people with visual impairment (raised writer) between the shape template and a silicone mat. Then trace the outline of the template with a ballpoint pen. Repeated tracing will cause the sheet to be cut out. |
| Related teaching materials and information | Shape templates can be created or are commercially available. |
