      Description

      For a child who is visually impaired, their hands are a very essential tool for learning and they will learn primarily from the tactile information obtained with their hands. Occupational therapists who work with visually impaired children must focus on functional hand use. For children, these tasks include cutting, lacing, eating and dressing independently, keyboarding, coloring, and handwriting.
