ABSTRACT
Children with intact vision and hearing learn effectively from all they do and from all that happens around them. Children who cannot depend on their distance senses to provide reliable, undistorted and adequate information about their world will learn less effectively. Learning and experience are restricted in quality and quantity. Their learning is limited by what others, or chance, bring to them in a form that they can perceive. As described in Chapter 1, they do not easily learn incidentally, from events around them. Unlike that of the typically developing child, their learning must be especially arranged.
