Intervention Methods
In Developmental Guidelines, recent research and intervention methods for infants with visual impairment have been reviewed and summarized in two ways:
- Narrative Chapters present specific intervention concerns
- Developmental Charts present critical development indicators
The Narrative Chapters for each developmental area address critical issues and provide an overall perspective of intervention options. The guidelines for intervention in these chapters include descriptions, explanations, intervention concerns, and opportunities for learning.
The Developmental Charts are organized into primary processes with specific indicators of those processes. The sequence rather than expected ages for development have been emphasized in the charts.
Note: Developmental Guidelines was designed mainly for professionals who serve infants with visual impairments. It is available in standard print, braille, HTML, and DAISY formats for full accessibility.
A form called Summary of Developmental Strengths and Intervention Concerns (Summary Consumables Forms, 10-pack) is available in packets of ten as a consumable item. These forms are used to plan interventions for infants with visual impairments.
