Safe Toddles Talks Orientation and Mobility

This study compared the running times of two groups of children with visual impairments, those taught at home and those taught by a physiotherapist at school. They improved running times, but were still significantly slower than sighted children the same age.
This review explores how the measuring of running in children who cannot see the path ahead and are not provided tactile path information and being happy about the outcome of significantly poorer running times compared to sighted peers- is asking everyone to accept that nothing can be done to improve actual running outcomes for learners with low vision.
Safe Toddles disagrees- provide children with tactile path information first, then test their running speed- and only then will you have a credible outcome of actual ability of children who are blind and visually impaired.
