Journal Title: Human Research in Rehabilitation - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the differences in tactile perception in children with and without visual impairment. The study covered 30 examinees with visual impairment and 30 subjects without visual impairment aged 7-13, both sexes. The research was conducted in the "First Elementary School" ("Prva osnovna škola") in Zavidovići and the "Centre for Blind and Visually Impaired Children and Youth" Nedžarići - Sarajevo. The results of the study showed that children with visual impairment have a better developed tactile perception in their entirety, compared to children with no visual impairment, and that there is a statistically significant difference in the individual variables of tactile perception: " Two-Point Discrimination" (right), " Two-Point Discrimination R "(left) and" Stereognosis "(left).
