Touch and Blindness Exploration
Science notes: skin and touch
Skin contains nerve endings that detect sensations such as pressure, vibration, texture and temperature. Messages travel along nerves to the brain, which helps us interpret them. Touch can help someone notice the shape or texture of an object, or feel a surface under a hand or foot. It cannot safely tell whether an unknown object is dangerously hot, so people should use safe methods rather than touching it. Blind and partially sighted people may use touch, hearing, memory, mobility skills and tools such as a white cane or Braille. Everyone’s experience is different.
