Book Description
The book highlights the problems and challenges encountered by disabled people especially the blind in their endeavour to climb the social ladder. It is a portrayal of the negative attitude among the public at large towards disability. Society associates disabled people with failure and under achievement which is of course untrue. The book is indeed an autobiography of the author himself as he struggled with social prejudices and marginalisation in country where there was scarcity of resources. The main character Tarutamba is Rudo himself and Mutsai is his wife Mukai. The book shows how vulnerable visually impaired people are. They are taken advantage of by playmates, family members and other misguided members of the society. It should be remembered that visual impairment is in the eyes and therefore blind people are capable of doing a lot of things which do not require sight. Males can impregnant whilst females can be impregnanted. The account also tries to give encouragement to those members of society who are disabled and therefore render themselves useless. The book is also a mirror of social practices and beliefs of the people of Belingwe in Zimbabwe. Its other aspect is the manner in which the way of the natives life is disrupted by the advent of the white men.

Language Development and Social Interaction in Blind Children
Author: Miguel Perez Pereira
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100003111X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
The Classic Edition of this foundational text includes a new preface from Miguel Pérez-Pereira, examining how the field has developed since first publication. The volume provides an in-depth account of blind children's developing communicative abilities, with particular emphasis on social cognition and language acquisition from infancy to early school age. It provides insights into why the development of blind children may differ from that of sighted children and explores development of "theory of mind" and perspective taking in language learning. It also discusses the caregiver–child interaction, research on early intervention and practical strategies for blind children that can assist parents and practitioners. The up-to-date preface discusses recent neurological research and the comparison between the psychological development of visually impaired and autistic children. Language Development and Social Interaction in Blind Children continues to facilitate dialogue between those interested in the study of typically developing children and those interested in the development of children who are blind, and challenges some widely held beliefs about the development of communication in blind children.

A Blind Child's Pathway to Learning
Author: Dr. William Cavitt
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1491842830
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Our intention in writing this book is to provide three distinct but closely related groups with insight into the factors required to help a blind child attain his/her maximum level of cognitive abilities. The first group consists of parents who face the day to day reality of helping their blind child deal with the challenges imposed by the lack of sight. The second group consists of beginning and future professionals who will find themselves deeply involved with providing social, psychological, and educational support of these parents. The third group includes friends, family, and others who are not and will not be on the front lines of working with blind children, but who are interested in understanding the issues for their own reasons. There are many articles and books available that discuss the various aspects of the development of both sighted and blind children from almost every possible perspective related to the factors that impact the learning and developmental processes of children. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these have been written by professionals to professionals, using the jargon of the author's chosen field of study. As a result, people who are not part of the "in groups" often find these publications hard to understand, boring, or both. In this book, we do not aim to provide any new insights to established professionals or other individuals who are knowledgeable in this area. Rather, our purpose is to translate the knowledge provided by these professionals into ideas and concepts that can be readily understood and applied by parents, teachers, and other caregivers of blind children. Throughout the book, we will be dealing with highly specialized concepts and theories of education, psychology, and human development. We have done our best to translate the professional and academic jargon into what most people would call "simple English. Throughout the text, we have provided our definitions of key terms as we have come to understand and apply those terms. We recognize that others may have different interpretations for the same terms, and we do not dispute that their definitions serve their particular purposes.

Independent Movement and Travel in Blind Children
Author: Joseph Cutter
Publisher: IAP
ISBN: 160752712X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
The purpose of this book is to contribute to our understanding of Developmental O and M, independent movement and travel in blind children. Unlike many books and articles on orientation and mobility (O&M) for blind children, this one is not about the effect of blindness on movement. Such an inquiry is self-defeating from the start, as it often begins with misconceptions and deficit-thinking about blindness and the blind child’s early motor development. Instead, this book is about the effect of movement on development and the importance of movement experiences for the development of independent movement and travel in blind children. It has a clear premise: blind children must become "active movers" if they are to become independent "travelers."
