The ability to recognize an object by touch alone, without looking at it. This lets a child find a specific toy in a toy box or a coin in their pocket just by feeling it.
To practice, hide small objects in rice, beans, or a pillowcase and have your child find them by feel. Mystery bags, sensory bins, and “guess what it is” games build this skill in a playful way.
While these activities are great for home practice, nothing replaces the guidance of a licensed therapist. If you are in Irvine, CA or the Orange County area and have concerns about your child's Stereognosis, we invite you to connect with us.
