Use of Tactile Diagrams in Learning Science for Visually Impaired Students at Upper Primary Stage
The NCERT textbooks of Science at upper primary stage are available in Braille script not including any graphics, diagrams and activities as a result, it has been a challenge for student with visual impairment to ‘create in your mind’ the content specified in Braille textbooks. This challenge has been addressed by NCERT, Department of Education in Science & Mathematics (DESM) to overcome such limitations. DESM has taken the initiative of given those tactile books for Science at the upper primary stage. It will smooth the progress of learning science for visually impaired students. NCERT developed tactile book in science in cooperation with Raised line foundation using 3D technology. In this paper, we are discussing about tactile book in science at upper primary stage.
