  • Title: Interactions between blind parents and their young children.
    Author: Collis GM, Bryant CA.
    Journal: Child Care Health Dev; 1981; 7(1):41-50. PubMed ID: 7214669.
    Abstract:
    Observations on four families with blind parents and young sighted children showed that relations between the children and their parents were remarkably little affected by the parents' handicap. Many of the characteristics of normal parent-child interaction, both verbal and non-verbal, seem to be readily adaptable to the special circumstances of blindness. Thus, it appeared that the parents were well able to participate in various kinds of social exchange, som of which had a seemingly strong visual element.
