Reading a book is fun and stimulates the development of children in various ways. This is true not only for sighted children but also for visually impaired children. Illustrated tactile books are a great way to foster the development of literacy and skills in concept building. This also helps visually impaired children to understand their daily life, stimulate their imagination as well as helping to expand and diversify their experiences.
At the moment there are not enough illustrated tactile books available for visually impaired children to read. There is still a huge discrepancy between the availability of these books compared to the amounts of picture books for sighted children.
