Many of the concepts associated with intersection design and street crossings are abstract and difficult for students with congenital visual impairments to grasp. Detailed tactile intersection diagrams can help students better understand those abstract concepts by making them tangible. O&M Instructors can use these diagrams to facilitate discussions about intersection design, the movement of vehicles, lane-by-lane scanning patterns, and other topics such as street crossing recovery while working remotely or indoors. They can also be used as a supplement to onsite instruction and can be used as the platform for any number of innovative remote or indoor lessons for all students, including those with adventitious vision loss.
