Abstract: Ideas are presented for parents, teachers, therapists, and diagnosticians working directly with visually impaired preschoolers, to help them learn. Information mainstreaming, designing programs for these children, particularly useful activities (such as special sensory training), how parents can help, and where outside help can be obtained are provided. Special attention is given to the effect of visual handicaps on the learning process, and to special guidelines and teaching techniques necessary to integrate visually handicapped children into the normal classroom routine. A short glossary of terms relating to vision and an annotated bibliography on visual handicaps are included, as is a development chart from infancy to 6 years.
