Study on the Acquisition of the Concept of Spatial Representation by Visually Impaired People - Maps for the Future Children Education and Internet - page 295

Figure 23.3 was the first drawing of the classroom produced by Laura after
feeling a model representing the place (Fig. 23.4 ). The drawing was done a year and
a half after the pupil began attending classes at the Special School. In the analysis of
the drawing it is evident, even though the pupil is not proficient in graphic shapes,
that almost all the existing objects in the room were represented

except for three
chairs and the teacher's desk. The analysis also indicates that Laura had difficulties
to represent objects in their correct locations, indicating that she still has not
mastered the spatial organization of the classroom.
