The Bliss Head explorer can aid in the understanding of the concepts: “ear”, “eye”, “nose” and “mouth” concepts by positioning their symbols in locations like they would be found in life.\u00a0 It may also help them refine their tactile skills and their ability to spatially locate a part of the head.<\/p>\n

The fact that the two “ear” pieces are mirror images of one another, may be a challenge for the student.\u00a0 You may be able to use the fact that their own ears are mirror images of each other to help the student understand this strange relationship.<\/p>\n

The explorer comes in two sizes: standard and large.\u00a0 The raised symbols on the standard size puzzle match the size of the raised symbols on their corresponding Bliss Tactile Symbol.\u00a0 The large puzzle is 50% larger than the standard puzzle in all three dimensions.\u00a0 The larger puzzle may be easier to assemble for students with more limited motor control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
