Find Friends

Let’s start to play!.
Lily’s here.
Bianca is here.
And that’s Lily’s friend and Bianca’s friend.
They are LEGO.
Yes, but they are people.
And I have more LEGO here.
So if you can find a friend here
for Lily here, can you find one?
Let’s bring Esther with Lily here.
Look, Esther is going…
Lily, it’s Esther.
Can you put Esther?
I’ll show you.
I think Esther here, and she will walk and meet Lily.
And Lily is playing with Esther.
Lily, we can see that she’s really clever.
She understood the tasks,
she knew that she had to find a friend.
And she was playing the game.
The activity of a friend coming.
But she also wants to do her own things.
And it’s also because, in fact, she is struggling to attach a brick
on the baseplate.
So the LEGO bricks itself and the ability
you need to have to attach it on the baseplate is a bit difficult for her.
So we tried after with a DUPLO and we can see that
it’s okay to pull apart 2 bricks, but to attach them together,
she doesn’t have yet all the coordination and the fine motor skills.
It’s very common with blind children that the fine motor skills are a bit
delayed compared to, all the intellectual ones.
So she was at least hiding the fact that it was difficult
for her to attach the brick on the baseplate.
Yes, I think so.
Okay, give me this one.
It’s really important to practice with two hands,
and to have that coordination between the two hands,
because when you read Braille, you really need the two hands.
So we start from the beginning to practice exercise with two hands.
And they are… together!
