The book is a summary and interpretation of the research literature
on infants and children with visual impairments. It concludes that
many aspects of 'delayed' development are not the result of visual
impairment itself, but rather of environmental variables that tend
to accompany visual impairment. Thus many of the typical
developmental delays may be ameliorated or avoided by the
appropriate structuring of the child's experiences. The book is
developmentally oriented and treats all of the major areas of child
development. The author makes the premise that a truly useful body
of knowledge about the development of children with visual
impairments must not just characterize normative development, but
must account for the factors that are associated with relatively
good or poor developmental progress. Existing research literature
is searched for evidence of variables that may account for
individual differences, particularly variables related to the
child's several environments.
