| OM32 | Teaching Visually Impaired Children to Make Distance Judgments From a Tactile Map | This article reports on two experiments that
investigated 59 children's ability to estimate distances
from a map. In Experiment 1, totally blind children, children
with residual vision, and sighted children were given a
map showing the position of three objects on a path, two
of which were present on the actual path. The children
were asked to use the map to work out the position of the
third object. The visually impaired children performed
less well than did the sighted children, and an analysis
of the children's strategies indicated that the majority
of visually impaired children did not know an effective
way to work out distances from the map. In Experiment 2,
the visually impaired children were given a brief training
in how to calculate distances from a map and then they
were retested. After training, the children's performance
improved. |
