Adjustment 3
Touch Tapestry
Special Educator and Therapist
Jagriti-Ben visits Saniya for one hour
every week for a session that is
helping to improve Saniya’s ability to
participate in daily life. Sensory exercises use a range of
textured household objects like
cleaning sponges and towels against
the skin to stimulate sensation and
awareness.
The physiotherapy involves exercises
that stimulate sensory, cognitive and
social development. We made the Touch Tapestry using a
variety of everyday materials sourced
from the local market, and featuring
Gujarati letters. It is a sensory and
visual aid that Saniya could access
by herself without the attention of a
therapist or family member.
