Early Words of Blind Children.

Bigelow, Ann

Journal of Child Language, v14 n1 p47-56 Feb 1987

Examination of the first 50 words of three blind children revealed that the early vocabulary paralleled that of seeing children in terms of age and speed of acquisition. Differences between the two groups were related to factors which were highly influenced by experience (including visual experience). (Author/CB)
