Creating Sensory Experience for Visually Impaired Children
Guided By Prof. Sudesh Balan

Children with visual impairments become more acute in their other senses over a period of time. They use their fingers to understand a text written through Braille. This project aims to create a sensory experience for visually impaired children of pre–Braille class (5–10 yrs) who stay in residential blind schools. A lot of students remain in the same class for years due to hampered growth and their environment completely changes when they go home during weekends. This problem is widely known, yet very less attention is paid towards it.

The design goal is to create an aid which empowers children to build cognitive, social, and physical skills. It would make them physically and mentally strong which will help them for Pre–Braille development and at the same time make their sensory experience richer.
