Children With Visual Impairments

This study identified a repertoire of essential early life experiences to which young children with visual impairments need to be exposed to undergird their development of literacy. The authors analyzed 254 stories from three published basal literacy series to identify the experiences necessary to bring meaning to each story. Through analysis and categorization of the data, they then identified 22 global areas of experience as essential. Guidelines for providing these experiences are suggested, including ways to link experiences to early literacy events.

Children With Visual Impairments

The aim of this study was to identify specific aspects of the home environment related to the development of young children with visual impairments. The subjects of the study were 18 mothers and their legally blind children, aged 20–36 months, with no other handicapping conditions. The overall home environments were found to be consistently favorable, despite the differences in the parents’ socioeconomic status. However, they were not significantly related to any developmental scores except for the positive relationship between the emotional and verbal responsiveness of some mothers and the expressive pragmatic language abilities of their children.

Children With Visual Impairments

This study compared the interaction behaviors of mothers of young children with visual impairments to those of mothers of mildly delayed children with normal sight in a free-play setting using videotapes of mother-child dyads. The children were matched according to chronological age, as well as developmental age. It was found that the mothers of children with visual impairments were more physically involved with their children, used more controlling strategies, and spoke more to them than did the mothers of fully sighted children.
