This book addresses issues related to the education of children with visual disabilities, with particular emphasis on touch.

The sense of touch is explored and analyzed through a multifaceted approach, aiming to highlight its important properties and functions in recognizing and understanding the world.

Specifically, this work examines topics concerning the role of touch in education, such as the crucial area of literacy and understanding cultural assets (e.g., a painted picture in embossed form).

Additionally, issues are discussed that highlight the role of touch as a means of communication and meaning-making: This "multi-meaningful" function of touch is developed either through an automatic developmental process or through systematic training;

In any case, the ultimate goal of this book is to enrich the related literature with other approaches, in order to support the work of professionals working in both formal and non-formal education, with particular emphasis on holistic development of tactile skills and personalized educational programs.
