- Abstract
The article suggests the use of tactile modeling and physical guidance as instructional strategies in physical activity for blind children. Young children who are visually impaired have a slower development of motor skills and this, in turn, affects their emotional and behavioral development. To improve motor skills of students, it is important for teachers to use effective pedagogical techniques, such as matching specific teaching styles and learning strategies to each child. Tactile modeling, physical guidance, and demonstration are modeling techniques that are used to help children who are visually impaired acquire such skills.
