Social bonds between children who are blind or visually impaired and their caregivers can be affected when there is lack of eye contact, possible lack of smiling, and frequent passivity or constant tactual exploration in less than ideal locations.
Providing students with fading assistance in social circumstances is key. Talking with the student about who is involved, what they are doing and why can help the student understand the social context. Although it may be difficult to provide, students need honest and sensitive feedback about their behavior and the impact it may have on social interactions. You can then talk with the student about how they can make judgments about how to change their behavior.
Students must learn to communicate effectively with different people. They must also learn to accept and respond appropriately to suggestions and corrections (ex. show respect for their teachers and others in leadership positions). The strategies identified here may help the student develop appropriate and positive social skills. Help a student learn appropriate social skills by encouraging the student to:
identify conventional gestures used in social contexts.
use nonverbal behaviors to indicate interest in speakers and to communicate more effectively.
respect the personal space of others.
make contact according to cultural norms.
turn face to the speaker and maintain social interaction. Explain that this behavior shows you are interested in what the other person is saying.
discuss facial expressions (ex. smiling, frowning, etc.) as feelings that occur throughout the day. Help students understand that their facial expressions convey to others how they feel.
use a tone of voice that is appropriate to the setting.
recognize behaviors that can cause social isolation.
