MOREIRA, Flavia Daniela dos Santos. TACTILE ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM: communication through tactile connections. Revista Teias [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.66, pp.309-324.  Epub Feb 06, 2023. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2021.52640.

Children with multiple sensory - visual disabilities struggle daily to communicate needs and interests and, as they are not yet functional, they use informal and idiosyncratic communicative modalities, called communicative acts. For this reason, this text aims to present the benefits of PACT - Alternative Tactile Communication Program, developed for children with multiple impairment visual disabilities, coming from a doctoral research. As it is an unprecedented study, it is intended to disseminate the subject among other teachers and instigate a reflection on the use of this program with other children and in other contexts, in order to favor the communication of those who do not communicate in a functional way and depend on tact to establish connections and communicate with others.

Keywords : alternative tactile communication; multiple disabilities impairment visual; communicative acts..
