Intended for parents, the booklet provides a practical guide to the types of learning aids that are helpful to the visually impaired child from preschool to post-school age. Aids for the preschool age are broken down into the following areas: materials for touching, materials for listening, materials for developing language, materials for developing body image, materials for learning to control movement, materials for self help, and materials to make at home. Sources for talking book materials appropriate for the school age child are given, and descriptions of materials for leisure time and daily living are offered. A source of information about special electronic devices for the post-school age child is cited. Cost information is provided for most of the materials mentioned. Appended are the addresses and telephone numbers for Optacon training programs and financial aid, a directory of Pennsylvania radio services for the visually impaired, and a directory of producers and distributors of materials.
