I have been using my camera to take pictures of the teachers who work with one of my blind students. I am making a book that will have a picture of each of the adults who work with him as well as a tactile symbol that represents each of them and the names and sentences typed in Braille.
You may be wondering what benefit a picture of someone would have for a blind child. Well, as another person is reading the book with the student, they can look at the pictures and describe the person or object to the student to help him better associate with the person. In addition, the person reading with the student does not have to try to remember everything about the person or object, they have a picture to help them make the book more meaningful.
I have seen similar books used with blinds students and it helps them to better understand the world around them.
