tactile awareness

Tactile awareness refers to our ability to perceive and understand sensations through touch. It involves recognizing different textures, temperatures, pressures, and shapes of objects through our skin. This awareness helps us navigate our environment, interact with objects, and communicate. For example, when you hold a hot coffee mug, tactile awareness allows you to feel the heat and adjust your grip. It plays a crucial role in everyday activities and is essential for developing motor skills, physical awareness, and even emotional connections through touch.
