Temperament and Young Children with Visual Impairments: Perceptions of Anglo and Latino Parents
Dote-Kwan, Jamie; Chen, Deborah
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v104 n9 p542-553 Sep 2010
This study examined the temperamental characteristics of 18 toddlers with visual impairments as reported by their Anglo and Latino (Mexican American) parents. Differences in the parents' ratings of the children's temperament were related to the children's level of visual functioning and development. No differences were related to the children's gender, and only one difference was related to the family's ethnicity. (Contains 4 tables.)
