Hello Allison, and friends:
I take the view that understanding pictures is more of an exposure
issue. We have to remember that sighted children see two, and three
dimensional objects from soon after birth. A child watching an hour of
television could be exposed to literally thousands of images per hour
whereas we might only see a few thousand images in a lifetime. Blind people
can learn how to look at tactile images, but we must be shown what the image
is. We have to start with simple images, and compare them to the actual
three dimensional object in order for things to make sense.
Regards,
