Q. Is there any scope for improvement ?

Ans. Yes, there is a good scope for improvement. Please feel free to adapt or modify the design.  

Suggestions:

1. To avoid the use of food items in preparing a TLM, instead of using cumin seeds (jeera), you can use anything (like ball bearings) that will produce an audible output for preparing the dice.
2. You can also place the reference sheet that will be used by the kids to understand the tactile markings on the left hand side of the chart.


Credits/Sources
Idea: Based on the traditional Indian Snake and Ladders Board Game.
Code used for writing numbers: Nemeth Braille Code.   
Background Music: Tunes created on my keyboard.

Acknowledgement
The above game was revised and updated based on the suggestions given by my Professor (Swati Sanyal Ma'am). Thank you ma'am for your valuable suggestions and guidance.

With Hope.
