Teaching Handwriting to the Congenitally Blind

In: Journal of visual impairment & blindness: JVIB, Volume 72, Issue 7, p. 280-283

Abstract

Poor knowledge of spatial relationships by congenitally blind persons makes it difficult for them to learn handwriting skills. As many blind people are familiar with braille, the braille cell can be used to explain the shapes and formations necessary in handwriting. The dots in the cell are numbered and instructions indicate how to connect the dots with a pen to form script letters.
