Logic Puzzles? (self.Blind)
submitted by katiektk8e
I’m a teacher of gifted students and I have a blind student. When I had her as a second grader I learned so much! Now she’s a third grader and I’m struggling to adapt some of my content.
I typically use logic puzzles with grids to have kids work on their logic and reasoning. I’m struggling when trying to adapt this for my student. Do you use logic puzzles? How would you recommend adapting them, or should I work to find an alternative?
Thanks!

I am not blind but one of my favorite hobbies is the Rubik’s cube. Now, you may think “my student is blind, how can she see the colors?” There are actually rubik’s cubes for sale with tactile patterns that some people actually solve blindfolded for fun (Rubik’s Tactile Cube). If you happen to introduce a new puzzle to the class than Rubik’s cube could be one.

Are there any scripted puzzles that the student could read?

Have you tried translating the grids into 3D space by using a peg board or snap together blocks (they have a name and I totally can't remember what it is now XD)? A lot of things that are strictly sight based don't always translate for blind students; they just don't make any sort of sense. If that's the case, you may have to try something a little different for this class. Do you have any examples of the logic puzzles you're using?

I love Logic Puzzles. I can’t do anything more than the basic ones in my head though. I know the grid you are talking about. Can you have someone convert the grid to Braille? Can you make the grid itself embossed so it can be felt?
