[accessibleimage] Re: Early Childhood Pre-Math/Pre-Writing

Still kid at heart, but for the scribbling. We scribble. My crayons were labeled in braille and we used homemade tactile coloring books. Which, now I understand they are sold premade. I also used a screenboard to get tactile feedback. Used alot of the wood blocks with raised letters and numbers as well as the magnetic letters to learn the alphabet letters and shapes. Learned handwriting write along with my sighted peers in the classroom and with vi teacher by using a variety of tools and methods.

Hi,

Other than having watched Sesame Street and Electric Company with my younger
siblings (those shows started after I had moved on beyond their content, I'm
more of a Captain Kangaroo, Bozo and Officer Joe Bolton kind of guy) I have
no knowledge or understanding of early childhood education. I am, however,
willing to learn.

We (UF PHHP) are looking to do a project that results in software for little
blind kids. Has there been any work that anyone knows about that builds an
audio and possibly tactile metaphor for teaching counting and the early set
stuff that little kids do? What does a blind kid do when his age group
starts scribbling?

I'm really at a loss on this problem so any suggestions or pointers would be
greatly appreciated.
