Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 1997, Vol 1, Issue 2

Abstract

For centuries Visually Impaired children have been educated within the high walls of special schools (Loots ET al., 1992). It is only during the last decades that more and more Visually Impaired children were brought up in their own environment: · the integrated education is not a trend anymore, but an educational policy; · The Early Intervention has transferred into approach to young Visually Impaired children. Early Intervention is crucial because the Visually Impairment affects the early development of a child in several ways: · motor functioning; · concept development; · social skills; · range of experience; · ability to move independently; · play etc. All these obstacles in early development create the necessity of Early Intervention programs which should start immediately after child’s is diagnosed.As it was said above the best approach to involve parents in early Intervention programs is to develop strategies, which fit individual family needs. This means to take into account many factors important for each family. Some of them are: · future believes and expectations; · educational background and culture; · religion; · financial situation.
