Terrific- I’d love to know the literature base on providing toddlers with VI and no other disability with lower leg, ankle and foot pieces. I assume there must be a literature base to support this in simply VI, I am only finding for those with CP, though.

Thanks!

Grace

Grace,

Jo Beth Willis, pediatric director, West Texas Rehabilitation Center in Abilene Texas might be able to help.  I worked alongside and collaborated with her for years.  She has significant experience working with our young children and students.

Dear listers:

I am seeking research on the practice of PTs placing orthotics and prosthetics on legs/feet of toddlers and preschoolers with visual impairment. I have not been able to find anything – am I looking in the wrong place??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Grace
