Children with visual impairments require accessible learning experiences to develop locomotor orientation and geometric understanding. This study aimed to analyze instructional needs, develop and appraise the feasibility of LAJADA (Lari Jalan Bangun Datar), and examine learning changes following its implementation. LAJADA integrates adapted physical education and plane geometry through a textured guide rope and haptic shape models. The study employed a research-and-development approach guided by ADDIE and a one-group pretest–posttest design supplemented by observation and interviews. Sixteen children with visual impairments aged 9–12 years (10 blind and 6 with low vision) from two special schools participated. Three experts appraised product feasibility, and pre–post changes were assessed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Mean expert appraisal scores ranged from 86.3% to 89.7%. After implementation, walking and running times became shorter, while performance improved in responses to tactile movement cues, dynamic balance, and recognition of plane shapes. The reported significance levels were .001 or lower. LAJADA shows potential as a multisensory, cross-curricular learning approach. However, the uncontrolled design does not establish a causal intervention effect. Future work should include follow-up measures and a comparison group.
