| Summary |
"Independent Movement and Travel in Blind Children: A Promotion Model is an innovative guide to encouraging activity, movement, and independence in the young blind child. Full of creative ideas and demonstrating a fundamental belief in the child's ability to learn, the book presents a "bottom-up" approach which combines natural interactions with the child and play situations with the alternative techniques of blindness. Emphasizing partnerships and a team approach, the book provides guidance for parents, teachers, instructional assistants, physical therapists, teachers of the blind, and O&M instructors who desire to create a learning environment in which the blind child can become curious, involved, active, and independent." --Book Jacket |
