Children with visual impairments face a range of challenges in understanding the world around them, which affects their cognitive, emotional, and social development. For such children, who lack full or partial visual perception, art in its various forms, including drawing and applied arts, serves as an important tool in compensating for visual deficits. These activities activate alternative sensory channels, such as touch and hearing, promote the development of motor skills and spatial perception, and enhance the child's self-esteem. A significant part of art therapy involves tactile maps, relief models, and 3D technologies, which help visually impaired children interact with the world through touch. Creative activities play a crucial role in corrective and developmental work, as they help children build confidence, reduce anxiety, and improve socialization skills. This contributes to their better adaptation in society and strengthens their psycho-emotional well-being. An inclusive approach and the adaptation of educational programs to meet the needs of visually impaired children are essential components of the educational process. Such methods form the foundation for successful social integration and multifaceted development of children in society.
