Interaction with the children was kept to a minimal. Most of the information that I gleaned was from observation or talking to the teachers. The first shock for me was when I saw the children writing, I understood how they would read braille through touch, but somehow it never struck me to wonder how they would write it.
The children used a a4 size tablet similar to the one shown above to write braille. The writing was done from right to left on the backside of the page so that the front would have the raised dots which could be read from left to right.
Classes at the Mathru school for blind were entirely for the blind children as there were no sighted children there in contrast to the Rakum school where sighted children and blind children were taught together. I would further like to understand whether this has any effect on their learning curve; whether it makes it easier or more difficult to learn alongside sighted children.
