Watch Me Grow! A Text for the Early Education of the Blind Child = Miradme! Texto para la Educacion Precoz del Nino Ciego.
Blind Children's Fund, Aburndale, MA.
This text assists parents and other caregivers in stimulating the young child with a severe visual impairment, in order to encourage development of normal behaviors which blindness delays and to prevent the appearance of psychological disturbances. Simple language and illustrations describe the stages of child development from newborn to 3 years old, written in first-person from the child's perspective. Suggestions for the psychological and educational development of the blind child are given. The suggestions are drawn from activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and playing. Suggested activities are designed to encourage the child's sensory development, verbal development, social skills, and motor development and to prevent the child from becoming overly fearful. (JDD)
