Early intervention in parent-baby interaction in a context of visual impairment
Keywords:
Early intervention, Family, Visually impaired individualsAbstract
The congenitally impaired vision that can result in blindness is a risk factor for mother-baby interaction and for the child’s psychological development. The visually impaired or blind baby has a different interaction with the world, so alternative ways of communication and perception must be activated to allow for development. Thus, the parents have an important role in their child’s development, as the baby
needs them more than ever to begin making contact with the outside world. The aim of this article is to review the scientific production in the area of early intervention with blind babies and their parents. To this end, we have identified theoretical discussions concerning the development of blind babies, early intervention issues to help parent-baby interaction and methodological difficulties with these studies.
