To develop properly, it is necessary for the infant, and particularly the infant who is blind, to be provided with a rich environment of sensory stimulation. When such stimulation is absent, as evidenced by the findings of researchers in sensory deprivation, a variety of undesirable behaviors can result. Parents can be helped in a variety of ways to provide their child with adequate stimulation. The concept of an infant curriculum, as developed by Barsch, is suggested as a particularly useful means of insuring that appropriate kinds and amounts of sensory stimulation are provided at each developmental stage.
