Play Behaviors and Social Interactions of a Child Who Is Blind: In Theory and Practice
Celeste, Marie
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v100 n2 p75-90 Feb 2006
This case study describes the play behaviors and social interactions of a preschool-age girl who is blind and has no additional disabilities. The data obtained from the assessment protocol indicated that although the participant was developmentally at or above age level in most domains, she demonstrated limited play behaviors and compromised social interactions. The results reinforce the variability of social competence skills in young children with visual impairments.
