This book has brought together leading international experts to
explore the similarities and the differences between autism and
blindness. Current research with children as well as adults is
described comparing early psychological development from a range of
perspectives such as language, memory, thought and feelings as well
as providing critical reviews of educational and intervention
programmes.
New developments in the field have sparked debate that is well represented here and touches on a variety of issues ranging from musical talent to the basis of 'connectedness' to others. The readership will be drawn from many fields reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the topic and will include researchers and practitioners in psychology and psychiatry as well as educationalists, therapists, classroom teachers and parents.
