Wonderbaby.org is a website that has been set up to support parents of young children with visual impairments and children with multiple disabilities. The following words are taken from an article on their site about how to teach a blind child about rainbows.
A multi-sensory approach can be the best way to bring an image (or classroom lesson) to life by combining some or all of the senses to build a comprehensive representation! Colours can be represented by a scent or taste: Strawberries for red or limes for green, for example. Ever think about “touching” colour? When you see a red ember in the fire, you think HOT! Temperature can represent colours just as well (but be careful!) where red means hot and blue is cold, or perhaps white is cold. But be creative and flexible with your translations. There are various examples of things that contradict each other, like fresh cold strawberries with white whipped cream, or the warm blue waters of a tropical beach.………read more at www.wonderbaby.org.
