Awareness of the Senses Developing Awareness of the Senses   This program is the cornerstone of Greater Vision Programs, and can be customized to grade levels from nursery school through primary grades.  The program was highlighed in Teaching Tolerance magazine. Through different eyes "How did she do that?" my 2nd graders wanted to know as Cheryl, a blind educator visiting our classroom, read them a story with her eyes closed. "She cheated! I saw her eyes open!" one of them protested. For the first time, the students fully realized that Cheryl, who seemed to make eye contact as they spoke with her, was really blind and that, amazingly, she was able to read a book with her fingertips!
