Blindisms: Possible Causes and Remedies.

Abang, Theresa B.

British Journal of Visual Impairment, v6 n3 p91-93 Fall 1988

Literature is reviewed on the topic of blindisms and their possible causes. Studies indicate that the lack of blindisms among Black African blind children is related to the close mother-child contact and the interaction among the extended family unit. Strategies for preventing blindisms are offered. (Author/JDD)
