Development and justification
The practice and lesson suggestions were written by staff who work with severely visually impaired and blind children every day. The content of Feel Free is based on their experiences in learning situations, rehabilitation and training programs. All the editors are familiar with Tactual Profile, which helps to ensure consistency. The development of Feel Free was assisted by a subsidy from the InSight Foundation (Stichting InZicht).
