3-Dimensional Spatial Orientation Discussion Box

Use a texture box to work on descriptive and positional language and texture identification!

This super simple box serves as a hands-on learning object to facilitate a discussion regarding the following concepts:

The subject areas include: concept development, orientation and mobility, math, english/language arts

 

Sample discussion points:

To Construct:

 

1.  If the student does not have the verbal ability to have a dialogue, the student can still use this box for learning.

2.  You can use a variety of materials for the various textures.  APH sells a kit called “Carousel of Textures” which they describe as Feel’n Peel Sheets”.  But common houshold materials work just as well as long as you can glue them effectively.  Double sided tape can be used.

3.  You can add one Velcro dot in the middle of each “side” which would enable the students to stick items on the sides you request.  You can have them read Braille directions or listen to recorded directions to do things like, “Place the large oval on the outside of the right wall”.
