This book provides an up-to-date account of blind children's
developing communicative abilities with particular emphasis on
social cognition and language acquisition from infancy to early
school age. It purports to foster dialogue between those interested
in the study of typically developing children and those interested
in the development of children who are blind and to provide
insights and new explanations of why the development of blind
children may differ from that of sighted children. The book also
aims to identify and examine current theoretical issues which are
likely to be at the centre of developments in the fields of child
language and developmental psychology. Language Development and
Social Interaction in Blind Children is also a timely book. The
study of blind children's development constitutes a unique
opportunity to study the effect of vision on development, and more
specifically on the development of language and certain aspects of
social cognition. Current interest in the development of "theory of
mind" and perspective taking in language learning, make the case of
blind children crucial to our understanding of certain aspects of
psychological functioning. The book explores these issues,
challenges some widely-held beliefs about the development of
communication in blind children, and provides a cohesive picture of
our knowledge to date.
