The investigation involving 24 blind children (2-11 years old) set out to develop and validate a coding procedure which employed a set of 34 descriptors with their corresponding definitions. The use of the taxonomy enabled a detailed, systematic study of manneristic behavior in blind children. (Author/SBH)

Of 265 students referred by their parents, 34% had faulty vision, 5% had impaired hearing, and 10% had faulty auditory discrimination. Twenty one percent…
