TACTILE DIAGRAMS IN SCIENCE FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED STUDENTS AT UPPER PRIMARY STAGE

Dr. Pramila Tanwar

Abstract :

 

 Braille books are available for visually impaired students without any illustrations, diagrams and activities. The absence of diagrams and illustrations has been a challenge in a subject like Science. This challenge has been addressed by NCERT, DESM to overwhelm such limitations. DESM has taken the inventiveness of providing tactile books for Science at the upper primary stage. It will help in learning science for visually impaired students. Science textbooks are available in Braille for visually impaired students without diagrams which top to the necessity to develop tactile form of diagrams in science for these students in collaboration with IITD (CoETG) using 3D technology. In this manuscript, we are carrying the progression of tactile books for NCERT Science textbook at upper primary stage (VI, VII, and VIII).
