Course contents

TITLE: Sensory disability and access to reading


The workshop is mainly concerned with developing, in a logic of co-construction, an inclusive didactic proposal that allows access to reading, as a princioe tool for access to culture, for everyone. Particular attention will be paid to the special questions that teachers are asked in this area when there is a pupil with sensory impairment in the classroom.

The contents will be addressed using active teaching methods and will be:

- Sensory impairment and reading: deaf, blind and visually impaired pupils facing texts
- multimodal didactics
- tactile books

The lab, in a participative form, will allow the knowledge of the main characteristics of a tactile book and the realisation of a first prototype.

Readings/Bibliography

The texts that will serve as a theoretical reference for the topics covered in the workshop are, in particular:

- tactile books that will be brought into the classroom by the lecturer

Teaching methods

Activities will be proposed through a structured sequence of analogue and metaphorical actions, ensuring a protected environment in which it is possible to make mistakes, try and try again, test oneself, learn from successes and mistakes.


An environment will be provided for planned learning that enables one to become more effective in doing one's work.

Assessment methods

In itinere, the following will be assessed: punctuality (with respect to participation in the workshop and presentation of the papers/exercises), the degree of interaction, language property, accuracy of expression.


Formative assessment (of tutorials, individual reports, presentation of group work, etc.), carried out together with the student, will make it possible to understand the knowledge and skills he/she has gradually attained.
