“…Children who are born blind or mobility visually impaired (hereafter, “visually impaired”) acquire developmental delays despite access to early education services (Ambrose-Zaken, 2022b; Celeste, 2002; Ferrell et al, 1998; Hatton, Bailey, et al, 1997; Hatton, Ivy, et al, 2013). Developmental delays are positively correlated to the severity of visual impairment (Ambrose-Zaken, 2022b; Bakke et al, 2019, Hatton, Bailey et al, 1997; Hatton, Ivy et al, 2013). Hatton et al's (1997, p. 801) study found that for children who are born with low vision or blindness, “the critical visual acuity for optimal development is within the 20/500 to 20/800 range.”…”
