All Hands On Deck: Tactile Skills Development (in-person)
LightHouse San Francisco, 1155 Market St. San Francisco
November 6, 13 & 20
Are you struggling with reading labels? Curious about what living techniques are out there? Join us for All Hands On Deck, a class on foundational tactile development skills.
Tactile sense opens a whole new dimension of information – textures, temperature, weight, and material can all come together to paint a picture of your surroundings. Tactile information comes not only from your hands, but also your feet, mouth and cane! The goal of this course is to provide you with strong foundational skills to increase your awareness of the tactile sense in all aspects of daily activities. We want touch and tactile information to become a natural way of interacting with and exploring the world. The concepts and skills learned in this course can be applied to various aspects of Independent Living, Braille, Orientation & Mobility, and Access Technology.
This course will be taught by Divina Carlson, Braille Instructor.
