But, how do I simulate these experiences in software?

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.
