Abstract
This study examined the influence of several variables (maternal behav iors, home environment, and family's socioeconomic status) on the deve lopment of young visually impaired children. Specifically, 15 mother-c hild dyads were observed in their homes during daily routines at two p oints in time: when the children were aged 20-36 months and about one year later. Overall, the study found that maternal behaviors had more of an impact on the children's development at Time 1 than did the othe r variables, but at Time 2, the home environment appeared to have a gr eater influence.
