A child with visual impairment maximise learning by
Answers
Parents whose child has a visual impairment may wonder what effect impaired vision will have on their child. There is no single answer that applies to all children. Your child's specific visual condition, the presence of any other disabilities, her personality and temperament, plus many other factors, will all influence how she reacts to her particular visual impairment.
Children who are visually impaired are as unique and as varied as any other group of children. One overall statement, however, does apply to most children who are visually impaired: a visually impaired child will typically learn about the world in a different way from a child without a visual impairment.
Depending on individual circumstances, a visually impaired child:
May not be able to rely on her sight to obtain information, and may, therefore, need to use senses other than vision to acquire information.
Will usually need particular kinds of attention and extra experiences from infancy on to learn skills that sighted children develop as a matter of course by watching people and objects around them and imitating what they see.
Will typically need to have clear explanations provided for her, sometimes repeatedly.
Will need to have direct experiences set up for her in order to learn what sighted children learn by looking. For example:
Your visually impaired child may need to be able to pet the neighbor's dog from head to tail and to spend time touching the dog's entire body in order to understand the animal referred to in a story as "a dog" and to determine what a dog really is. In fact, she may need to touch a number of different dogs over time to really understand what a dog is and to learn that there are several kinds of dogs.
She may need to help stir the batter for a batch of cookies, help put them in the oven, and be told that the good smell coming from the kitchen is the cookies baking—and then taste the cookies—in order to make the connections between the process of baking and the food she eats.
