Direct linkVinter, Annie; Fernandes, Viviane; Orlandi, Oriana; Morgan, Pascal – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
The aim of the present study was to compare the types of exploratory procedures employed by children when exploring bidimensional tactile patterns and correlate the use of these procedures with the children's shape drawing performance. 18 early blind children, 20 children with low vision and 24 age-matched blindfolded sighted children aged…

Papadopoulos, Konstantinos; Koustriava, Eleni – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
In the present study, the aim was to examine the differences in performance between children and adolescents with visual impairment and sighted peers in the water-level task. Twenty-eight individuals with visual impairments, 14 individuals with blindness and 14 individuals with low vision, and 28 sighted individuals participated in the present…

Aslan, Ummuhan Bas; Calik, Bilge Basakci; Kitis, Ali – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
This study was planned in order to determine physical activity levels of visually impaired children and adolescents and to investigate the effect of gender and level of vision on physical activity level in visually impaired children and adolescents. A total of 30 visually impaired children and adolescents (16 low vision and 14 blind) aged between…

Veispak, Anneli; Boets, Bart; Ghesquiere, Pol – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
The relations between reading, auditory, speech, phonological and tactile spatial processing are investigated in a Dutch speaking sample of blind braille readers as compared to sighted print readers. Performance is assessed in blind and sighted children and adults. Regarding phonological ability, braille readers perform equally well compared to…

Papadopoulos, Konstantinos; Koustriava, Eleni – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
The aim of this study is to examine the performance in coding and representing of near-space in relation to vision status (blindness vs. normal vision) and sensory modality (touch vs. vision). Forty-eight children and teenagers participated. Sixteen of the participants were totally blind or had only light perception, 16 were blindfolded sighted…

Veispak, Anneli; Boets, Bart; Ghesquiere, Pol – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
In the current study we investigated word, pseudoword and story reading in Dutch speaking braille and print readers. To examine developmental patterns, these reading skills were assessed in both children and adults. The results reveal that braille readers read less accurately and fast than print readers. While item length has no impact on word…

Hallemans, Ann; Ortibus, Els; Truijen, Steven; Meire, Francoise – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Locomotion of children and adults with a visual impairment (ages 1-44, n = 28) was compared to that of age-related individuals with normal vision (n = 60). Participants walked barefoot at preferred speed while their gait was recorded by a Vicon[R] system. Walking speed, heading angle, step frequency, stride length, step width, stance phase…

Veispak, Anneli; Boets, Bart; Mannamaa, Mairi; Ghesquiere, Pol – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Similar to many sighted children who struggle with learning to read, a proportion of blind children have specific difficulties related to reading braille which cannot be easily explained. A lot of research has been conducted to investigate the perceptual and cognitive processes behind (impairments in) print reading. Very few studies, however, have…
