Newly developed tactile reading method in the Netherlands aims to assist in selecting the appropriate form of literacy for individuals based on a thorough decision process. The proposal involves considering factors such as child characteristics, external influences, and motivation for braille adoption. By filling in checklists and following a decision tree, educators can determine if switching to braille is suitable. This approach emphasizes personalization and collaboration with students to enhance literacy skills effectively.
