Abstract

Illustrations referring to the visible aspects of objects in tactile books may be difficult for children with visual impairments to understand. To solve this problem, a new illustration design was developed based on modalities other than vision. The objective of the study is to evaluate the comprehension by children with visual impairments of a multimodal book whose illustrations refer to haptic and audio modalities. To examine the role of residual visual experience in comprehension, the book was tested in children with two profiles of visual impairment: 5 blind children and 6 with low vision, aged 5–12 years. To assess their comprehension as they discovered the book, we observed a matching between the text and the exploration of the illustrations, and the production of expected manual explorations by children. After discovery, we asked the children about how they handled the objects in the book and the sounds they heard. The main results showed no significant difference between the two groups of children on the matching score, manual exploration expected, and description of sounds perceived or handling performed. The book was very well understood and appreciated by both groups. These results could indicate that residual visual experience is not necessary for this task. Results suggest that exploring other sensorial experiences could be a more inclusive way to represent objects in tactile books that are more suitable for all children, regardless of their visual experience.

视觉障碍儿童对多模态书籍的理解
有视觉障碍的儿童可能很难理解触觉书籍中涉及物体可见方面的插图。为了解决这个问题,一种新的插图设计基于视觉以外的模式。本研究的目的是评估视觉障碍儿童对一本多模态书籍的理解能力,该书籍的插图涉及触觉和听觉模态。为了检验残余视觉经验在理解中的作用,这本书在两种视觉障碍儿童中进行了测试:5名失明儿童和6名低视力儿童,年龄在5 - 12岁。为了评估他们在发现这本书时的理解能力,我们观察了文字和插图探索之间的匹配,以及孩子们预期的手工探索的产生。发现后,我们询问孩子们如何处理书中的物品和听到的声音。主要结果显示,两组儿童在匹配分数、期望的手工探索、感知或处理声音的描述方面没有显著差异。这两组人都很理解和欣赏这本书。这些结果可能表明,残余的视觉经验对这项任务是不必要的。结果表明,探索其他感官体验可能是一种更包容的方式来表现触觉书籍中的对象,更适合所有儿童,而不管他们的视觉体验如何。
