Elsie is a pony. She has short legs and a round tummy. She had
never had an adventure until her best friend Spot the dog went
missing!
Blind and visually impaired children experience the world in unique
ways. To help them learn and develop, parents and teachers need to
understand how such children relate to their environment. Felicity
Harrison and Mary Crow, who have spent years working with blind
children and their families, offer practical strategies for
encouraging the blind child's development and interaction with his
or her family and school community. The authors begin by discussing
the reactions of parents when they learn their child is visually
impaired, perhaps even multihandicapped. They go on to provide
insights into what it means not to see well and techniques for
encouraging the child to use whatever vision he or she may have.
They suggest activities that parents or teachers can share with a
blind child, from songs, games, and crafts to projects around the
house and ways to enjoy a walk together. They discuss the nursery
school experience and offer ideas on how to make it enjoyable and
rewarding. A final chapter addresses preventive and remedial
measures; it focuses on the nonvisual perspective and explains how
to perceive things from the blind child's point of view. Parents
and preschool teachers of visually impaired children will find this
a welcome guide to coping with day-to-day challenges and enhancing
the child's education and development.
