During a Coffee Hour session on 10/19/20, we introduced the Progression of Tactile Learning, a checklist designed to help teachers create a “Tactile Profile” for students with visual impairment who are struggling with the acquisition of tactile skills and/or have not made expected progress toward attaining tactile literacy. The information gathered with this evaluation tool will assist in developing instruction that targets specific individual needs. Using input from our colleagues, this checklist has been updated, modified, and reorganized. We would like to share the new checklist, discuss the additional resources, and show how it is currently organized.
