•Match and Stick Skill Application: Tactile discrimination (Matching braille shapes) Object: To correctly match braille shapes Materials:
Bathtub appliqués or other cut outs
Mat board
Velcro
Sets of dissimilar braille shapes brailled on clear labels. Place one set of labels on half of the appliqués and the other set on the other half.
Equally place the desired amount of Velcro squares on the left and right of the mat board
Place Velcro on the backs of the appliqués
To Play:
Place one set of the appliqués on the left side of the mat board. Have the student find the appliqué in the top row. Using a non-slip pad, have the student choose between two appliqués the one that matches, and place it on the Velcro square next to it. Repeat with remaining rows.
*(By using Velcro, the shapes can be changed for variety or as his ability to discriminate increases.)
