A sighted child can quickly identify the texture of an object, whether it is rough or prickly, with just a glance, whereas a visually impaired child needs to explore it through touch to obtain the same information.

Within its rehabilitation program, Al Shurooq School offers blind and low-vision children the opportunity to engage in sensory play, fostering the development of their non-visual senses and enabling them to perceive sensations that would typically rely on sight through other senses like touch.

These sensory sessions also prove to be a valuable tool for enhancing language skills in blind and low-vision children. Understanding abstract concepts like softness, thickness, or thinness becomes challenging without the physical experience, especially when visual signals are unavailable.
