Tactile turtle : explorations in space with visually impaired children and a floor turtle

Penny Gay

Peripatetic Support Teacher Cornwall Advisory Service for Visually Impaired Children

This article contains extracts from an unpublished dissertation, University of Birmingham, 1988. It describes and evaluates a practical project in which blind and partially sighted children used a floor turtle to find out about space. In particular, the activities gave them valuable experience in using the concepts of right and left and in performing accurate facing movements.
