Children With Visual Impairments

This article reports on the performance of 16 visually impaired children, aged 4–12, on tasks designed to assess their understanding of false belief, a central aspect of social understanding. The study found that the development of understanding of another's false belief is delayed in children with severe visual impairments and that the degree of vision loss seems to be a key variable in that development.

Paweł Cylulko, Oddziaływania tyflomuzykoterapeutyczne wspierające rozwój ruchowy dziecka z niepełnosprawnością wzroku [Typhlo music therapy interventions that facilitate motor development of visually impaired children]. Interdyscyplinarne Konteksty Pedagogiki Specjalnej, nr 22, Poznań 2018. Pp. 153-30. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2018.22.09 The article discusses the possibilities of using music therapy to facilitate motor development of children with visual impairments. Cognitive functioning of children without vision implies certain psychophysiological, emotional and social problems, including substantial delay in motor development in comparison to non-impaired peers. Thanks to the integration of music with various forms of movement and the sonic and musical interaction between a music therapist and a child, it is possible to reduce the child’s psychomotor delay, and improve their orientation and locomotion in small and large spaces. The author, musician, teacher and music therapist, shares his observations and experiences gained during almost thirty years of workwith children at the Maria Grzegorzewska Lower Silesian Special Educational Centre No. 13 for the Blind and the Visually Impaired in Wrocław.

Children With Visual Impairments

This study examined the influence of several variables (maternal behaviors, home environment, and family's socioeconomic status) on the development of young visually impaired children. Specifically, 15 mother-child dyads were observed in their homes during daily routines at two points in time: when the children were aged 20–36 months and about one year later. Overall, the study found that maternal behaviors had more of an impact on the children's development at Time 1 than did the other variables, but at Time 2, the home environment appeared to have a greater influence.
