Play, social interaction, and motor development: Practical activities for preschoolers with visual impairments

Journal/Book: J Visual Impair Blind. 1998; 92: J Visual Impairment Blindness, 11 Penn Plaza, Suite 300, New York, NY 10001. Amer Foundation Blind. 176-188.

Abstract: Children with visual impairments (who are blind or have low vision) should be given the chance to develop locomotor and social interaction skills at the same time as sighted students. Since play is a natural medium through which children learn, a number of activities can easily be incorporated into peer-play situations at school. These activities enable children to practice moving and orienting themselves properly in relation to others and their surroundings and to be better prepared for social interactions with sighted children.
