Compare the language development of children who are blind or have low vision to that of children with sight and describe a problem associated with measuring intelligence in students who are blind

What will be an ideal response?


Lack of vision does not seem to have a significant effect on the ability to understand and use language, since auditory perception is the sensory modality through which we learn language. Lack of vision appears to have little effect on the ability to understand and use language. Most authorities believe that it is impossible to make comparisons between intelligence of sighted persons with that of persons with blindness because finding comparable tests is so difficult. Evidence indicates there is no reason to believe blindness results in lower intelligence.
