Divergent Development of Gross Motor Skills in Children Who Are Blind or Sighted
Brambring, Michael
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v100 n10 p620-634 Oct 2006
This empirical study compared the average ages at which four congenitally blind children acquired 29 gross motor skills with age norms for sighted children. The results indicated distinct developmental delays in the acquisition of motor skills and a high degree of variability in developmental delays within and across the six subdomains that were analyzed.
