ABSTRACT
The success of children with visual impairments in sport and games also depends on developing a sound movement base and providing opportunities to practice and refine skills. For children with visual impairments, proficiency in physical activity may depend on the amount of visual acuity they possess. Children with visual impairments are more passive and constrained unless they adapt to their environments. Most children with visual impairments can participate in gymnastics, weight training, movement education, and hiking with minor modifications that help initiate the activity. The physical activity program consisting of physical fitness, dance, aquatics, and gross motor activities will allow children the opportunity for movement stimulation of the hands and bodies in an appropriate manner. Teachers should provide opportunities, instruction, and practice in a variety of gross motor and physical fitness skills and should cultivate a positive attitude toward activity that is based on the child’s interest.
