This paper uses the social model of disability to examine visually impaired children's experiences of their housing and neighbourhoods and finds that they did not experience any significant problems with the design of them. The source of their problems was within these environments, and was caused by factors such as the intensity of movement, for example, from flows of traffic. We conclude by discussing the social policy implications of these findings.

Visually Impaired Children

One of the main goals in the education of visually impaired children and pupils in Bulgaria is their preparation for independent life, which is accomplished through a curriculum of special subjects. The leading place among them takes the useful skills program. The report provides a brief overview of the scientific literature on the issue in question, and revealing opportunities to support the overall development of visually impaired learners. In this connection, the results of assessing the social skills of visually impaired children are presented using the checklist of Sasks and Siberman

This article presents a literature survey and conceptual model of the perceptual-motor performance of visually impaired children in relation to their social development. It examines the relationships between visual impairment and orientation, visual impairment and mobility, and motor performance and social integration.

Describes an investigation of how different figure-ground contrast combinations affect the visual functioning of visually impaired children. The study employed the use of field reversals—printing white and yellow foregrounds on a black background—to decrease the amount of light reflected from printed materials to the eye. Eighteen visually impaired children ranging in age from nine years, four months to 14 years, six months participated in this study. The findings indicated that neither reversals in contrast nor chromaticity differences were effective measures for increasing visual functioning.

Visual Evoked

In the authors’ previous study, the success rate for forced-choice preferential looking (FPL) with preverbal visually impaired children was higher than that with pattern visual evoked potential (VEP). The current study sought to increase the VEP success rate and to improve agreement between the FPL and the VEP acuity estimates using horizontal-bar stimuli for children with nystagmus and steady-state presentation for those without nystagmus.
