Yvina Pedrosa Vieira Gomes; Francisco Nataniel Batista de Albuquerque; Glauciana Alves Teles – Journal of Education and Learning, 2025
Tactile cartography and the use of tactile teaching resources play a fundamental role in building the geographical reasoning of blind and low-vision students. These resources provide a sensory representation of space, allowing students to explore and understand geographical elements through touch. In this context, this study addresses the…

Brittell, Megen E.; Lobben, Amy K.; Lawrence, Megan M. – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2018
Introduction: Technological advances have introduced three-dimensional (3-D) printing as an option for creating tactile maps for people with visual impairments (that is, those who are blind or have low vision), diversifying the types of map products that are available. At the same time, it presents a challenge to map makers to implement designs…

Mukherjee, Anirban; Garain, Utpal; Biswas, Arindam – Educational Technology & Society, 2014
Diagram describing texts are integral part of science and engineering subjects including geometry, physics, engineering drawing, etc. In order to understand such text, one, at first, tries to draw or perceive the underlying diagram. For perception of the blind students such diagrams need to be drawn in some non-visual accessible form like tactile…

Wright, Tessa; Harris, Beth; Sticken, Eric – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2010
A review of the literature from 1965 to 2008 on tactile maps and models in orientation and mobility yielded four pre-experimental and three experimental articles. The articles were analyzed via best-evidence synthesis--a combined narrative and statistical approach--allowing for recommendations for the most effective use of tactile maps and models.…
