Assertion (A): In an inclusive Science laboratory, 'Hand-under-hand' guidance is considered a superior intervention strategy compared to 'Hand-over-hand' for a student with total blindness. Reason (R): Hand-under-hand allows the student to feel the teacher's movements while maintaining the autonomy to withdraw their hands, thereby reducing 'learned helplessness' and tactile defensiveness.
