Little room for visually impaired.
The little room is a space in which a child can explore his or her environment safely.
These were for the construction of the little room which is used to encourage active learning in visually impaired babies.
After observing the positive reactions to the little room in visually impaired children who had other disabilities i decided to a scientific study on the effect of the little room on 20 congenitally blind infants.
Toys and objects are suspended from the ceiling with elastic cords as in the photo on the right and the child is free to explore and experiment with what she discovers while moving hands and legs.
