Tactile dots and markers, also known as tactile indicators or raised markers, are small adhesive shapes designed to provide tactile feedback on various surfaces. These accommodations assist individuals with visual impairments by helping them identify buttons, switches, or important locations through touch. Commonly used on keyboards, appliances, and signage, tactile dots improve accessibility and independence in daily tasks. By adding a textured element, they make navigation easier without relying on sight, promoting a more inclusive environment. These markers are durable, easy to apply, and come in different shapes and sizes to suit diverse needs. Incorporating tactile dots supports compliance with accessibility standards and enhances workplace usability for everyone.
Begin by cleaning the surface where the tactile dots will be applied to promote strong adhesion. Choose markers with the right size and texture for the task, placing them on frequently used controls or areas needing identification. Position dots consistently to avoid confusion and replace worn markers regularly to maintain effectiveness. Avoid placing dots where they could interfere with device operation or safety features. Regularly check for peeling or damage, and update placements as needed to match changing accessibility requirements.
