Touch'n taste

Divided Plates for Deaf-blind Children

Unable to see or hear, deaf-blind children may develop aversions to textures due to a heightened sensitivity to touch. Touch'n taste comprises large tactile models that categorize the texture of food, along with small tactile models of the same texture attached to the plate. Children can experience various textures of food by touching the tactile models with their hands or tongues. By repeating this process, the children will be able to infer the texture of the new food simply by touch, thus overcoming their fear of textures.

JURY STATEMENT

Experiencing new foods as a toddler is a crucial moment in educational development. Using pleasing, nonthreatening tools, Touch'n taste places special attention on this moment, encouraging communication and interaction with one's surroundings.

WINNER STATEMENT

We are glad that the jury recognized how Touch'n Taste can help deaf-blind children. As design students, we will continue our studies focusing on those in need and the underprivileged.
