Learners with visual difficulties unlike the sighted ones who have access to a wide variety of written texts, images in books and videos, the blind learners rely on text or verbal descriptions. This necessitates the use of tactile graphics that respond to the learning needs of learners with visual difficulties. This unit focuses on designing and labelling different advanced tactile graphics. Relevant equipment, materials, and captions for designing and labelling advanced tactile graphics are explained.
By the end of this unit, you should be able to:
- Identify equipment and materials for tactile graphics
- Classify tactile graphics according to their production methods
- Label tactile graphics
