Abstract

An interventional educational plan was to be developed for a deaf-blind student who was assessed as having issues in body schema awareness. This was the goal of the research. This was a component of a larger study project that was aimed at producing a screening inventory for the cognitive and communicative profile of kids who are deaf and blind. The research was conducted using a qualitative research approach, and an interpretive stance was taken throughout. The purpose of the query was to provide descriptive information. The case study technique was what we went with. The implementation of the interventional programme was intended to be of assistance to the student who was deaf and blind in fostering early idea formation (body schema). In order to foster a greater sense of body schema awareness in the learner, a variety of multisensory and real experiences were provided. Following the completion of the activity, it was noticed that the student gained an awareness of his or her body having a centre (midline), as well as two sides. The pupil was successful in naming her bodily parts and identifying which ones were similar to those of others.
