Touch isn’t just a physical act—it’s a way of making sense of the world. For visually impaired individuals, touch verifies reality, builds independence, and fosters connection. In this episode, we explore how participants describe touch as existentially vital: a way to affirm that the world is real and within reach. We’ll discuss practical examples and what this theme means when exploring the concept of “touch exchange”. If you are visually impaired or blind, or if you know someone who is,
