The learning process in schools for the blind children cannot be separated from the sensitivity ability of tactual sensitivity to facilitate in learning to read and write braille. Development of the senses can be done tactual since children of the blind early age. Tactual sensitivity can be optimized through planned programs with school teams, families and communities. The role of parents begins through communication with the teacher for the needs that can be done at home.
