Breaking Barriers

Foundation Republic of Bashkortostan

Thanks to your support, blind and visually impaired students of the boarding school received a new tactile wall. The first wall was installed 5 years ago, during which time more than a third of the elements were lost. On the one hand, this is good, which means that children are actively interested in the tactile wall, studying it. We have reviewed some aspects of the use of elements in creating a tactile wall and are confident that the new wall will last a very long time and with benefit. The tactile wall contains artificial grass, buttons, corks and ceramic mosaics. It combines various textures: smooth, rough, rounded, dense, soft and hard. Emphasis is placed on various color options, since many children distinguish colors and it is very important for them that the picture be contrasting. Thanks to tubers, a little more money was raised, so the wall was made larger. Now children can continue to explore the world around them with the help of a tactile wall, relax their hands after reading Braille, develop new skills and improve their well-being. Thank you very much for your help with the collection.

Campaign information

Blind and visually impaired boarding school students need a new tactile wall!

In 2017, we presented a tactile wall to the blind children of a specialized boarding school. The surface of the tactile wall consists of various elements (brushes, buttons, corks, mosaics), touching which in blind children enriches sensory experience. For 5 years, the children “studyed” the surface of this board with pleasure, because they “see” this world with their hands. This develops fine motor skills, unloads psycho-emotionally, develops imagination. After the wall was installed, the school principal noted that the children stopped picking at the window sills and the corners of the walls. Unfortunately, the tactile wall has fallen into disrepair and we turn to tubers for help. A new tactile wall needs to be created so that children can continue to explore the world around them, relax their hands after reading Braille, improve their well-being and develop new skills.
