“…Creo que en la educación es fundamental dejar que las personas en general, pero quizás los ciegos en particular, utilicen sus sentidos, observen con sus sentidos. Creo que esta es una habilidad, y es una habilidad que no está ahí automáticamente. Creo que las personas realmente necesitan prestar atención a esto en educación, porque es la única forma en que podemos observar verdaderamente el mundo”—Geerat Vermeij, 2020
“…I might add something important, that my parents and my brother showed me almost anything they could, they let me handle things, feel things no matter what they were, including spiny plants for example. And that gave me a real tactile education from the very beginning. I think that in education, it is crucial to let people in general, but perhaps the blind in particular, to use their senses, to observe with their senses. I think that this is a skill. It is a skill that is not automatically there. I think that people really do need to pay attention to it, in education. Because it is the one way in which we can truly observe the world” —Geerat Vermeij, 2020
