Abstract     Most information about our environment reaches us through the eyes. The quantity of incoming information is related to the sight limit. Other senses - touch, hearing, smell, taste allow us to compensate for and/or supplement the lack of acquired information.Blindness has a most serious impact upon the formation of the personality profile and upon the performance of the daily activities and working tasks.The goal of occupational therapy in a blind child with a development disorder is to enable him to obtain sensory experiences in different situations that should help him learn new skills and win new abilities.
