Child Centered

This study examines the effects of visual impairment on parent/child interaction. Six children (aged 1 to 3 years) with varying degrees of vision were video-recorded in naturalistic interactions with their families. Results indicate that caregivers of the blind provide highly directive input, offer relatively few descriptions, and initiate a greater proportion of topics than their children, focusing almost exclusively on child-centered topics. The special needs of blind children (e.g., for locomotor stimulation) as well as the absence of visual cues from and to the child motivate many of these modifications. We propose alternative ways for families to engage in satisfying interactions with their blind children.

Developmental Characteristics

This review of research literature presents the difficulties encountered by blind children at individual developmental stages of speech. This report aims to appraise recent peer reviewed literature relating to communication and language development in children with VI. The language and communication developmental characteristics may assist speech-language therapists to build a knowledge base for parti- cipation in early intervention for young children with visual impairment.

Quantitative Approaches

This study evaluated the adapted science and mathematics books for students with visual impairment in inclusive classrooms in Tanzania secondary schools. It was conducted in 14 regions using qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data were generated from a sample of 19 heads of school, 103 students, and 77 teachers. The findings of the study show that the books are appropriate for students with visual impairment. However, they lacked enough tactile illustrations and pictures. Further findings revealed that lack of braille knowledge among some teachers limited them from using the books. As such, a few teachers who had braille knowledge had started to use the books while those with limited knowledge did not. Most teachers reported lack of appropriate pedagogy for handling special needs in inclusive classrooms. Therefore, although the books are appropriate, a lot needs to be desired in building teachers’ capacity to use the books. Various inclusive methodological knowledge to teachers needs to be ensured. Furthermore, the books must be improved to include more tactile graphics and pictures to make them more reader-friendly for students with visual impairment. Other educational books, including three-dimensional (3D) models, should be part of the adapted books.

This study investigated the effects of two institutional correction programs on change in self-concept of 60 male juvenile delinquents. The programs included a work-oriented program stressing individual, vocational and personal skills and a parent-child interaction program fostering family communication, cohesion, and solidarity. Each subject was given the Tennessee Self-concept Scale on admission to the program and then after 120 days of intervention therapy. 30 male delinquents in the program stressing interpersonal competence and family interaction underwent significantly greater change in self-concept than 30 peers in a work-oriented program; successful rehabilitation appeared to involve active integration of the delinquent and his family in the therapeutic process.

Children With Visual Impairments

The gift of God in establishing a household is the presence of a child. Caring for children is an important concern for parents, especially children who have special needs. Parents who have children with special needs with visual impairment become a big challenge and generally parents will experience stress, anxiety and depression in caring for children with visual impairment. The success of parenting in children with visual impairment must be in accordance with its limitations so that children can reach the aspects given in accordance with learning blindness. Parents also have confidence in success in caring for children with visual impairments so that their children have the same abilities as normal children. This research is interesting because in the literature used there are results that parenting efficacy in parents with children with visual impairment varies, namely building self-confidence, developing social mobility and skills and emotional support, appreciation, and informative.

Home-based intervention programs should not only offer all those qualities that are required for every intervention program for youngsters, but also have to take care that they can be used by low-educated, sometimes illiterate parents. A fact that must also be taken into account is that parent-child interaction in many families of ethnic minorities take place in other languages than the dominant language of education at school. For these reasons, the Dutch home-based program Opstap Opnieuw (Step-up Anew) has tried to combine rich contents with simple procedures and has been developed in four different languages, Dutch, Turkish, Arabic, and Papiamentu. The focus in this article is on the criteria behind the combined requirements of high-quality interaction, suitability for low-educated parents, and versions in four different languages, especially for language development and emergent literacy. In addition, some outcomes of the first evaluations are presented.
