Visually Impaired Classroom

I visited a classroom last week in my school, it was not a regular class, the students were working, and laughing all the time, and I was delighted with all their beautiful work. I could not resist taking some pictures of this special group of kids.

I am pleased to share a new side of my website, the work of Visually Impaired Multihandicapped students.

The following materials were prepared by blind students who use their sense of touch, smell and taste to produce their work. See all the things that they can do!

Special thanks to their teachers Mrs. Bernice Colon and Kim Kurlin for allowing us to share this with you.
