Here is an amazing article written by Jay Stitely on this topic and an important part we sometimes forget, socialization skills and body language.

Subject: [blindkid] Struggling with socialising


My grandson, aged 3 is visually impaired.  He has basic navigational vision.
He is bright and outgoing and loves company.

We would appreciate any input that can help him to cope in social situations
with sighted kids.  He wants to be included in their games and activities,
but finds it difficult because (for example at a playground) he doesn't know
where they are and what they're doing.  So he gravitates to the adults for
company.

Any ideas?
