Is There a Critical Age for Using the Sonicguide with Blind Infants?

Sampaio, E.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v83 n2 p105-08 Feb 1989

The study compared the effectiveness of using the Sonicguide, a device using echoes to aid orientation and mobility, with five blind children aged 5-48 months. Results found that children at all age levels were able to use the guide. These results conflict with previous results suggesting a critical age for device usefulness. (DB)
