Description
Summary:Little is known about how persons with congenital deaf-blindness use hand movements efficiently for exploring different objects with different textures in different tasks. More knowledge in this area would contribute to the adaptations of educational strategies for encouraging touch and tactile exploration. The study presented in this article investigates the different tactile exploratory procedures used by a woman with congenital deaf-blindness when touching objects with microtextures in three tasks with three types of objects.
