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

Hi Chris,

In my experience, all children love counting with music, with musical notes,
and with animal sounds such as bird sounds, dog barks, cat mews, as well as
with what to adults may be non-musical sounds... squeaks, whistles, smacks,
crashes, clicks, burps, burbles, screams, etc.

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.
