- Synopsis
- In 1980 Dr. Nielsen, a Danish educator, was asked to evaluate a 20-month-old blind boy who was severely developmentally delayed. Her observations of this child helped her formulate ideas that led to her creation of the "Little Room", a structured environment through which blind children can learn to explore their surroundings. Nielsen's approach is known as "active learning," as the child becomes motivated to experiment and explore when his surroundings are interesting and when he/she is free from adult interference. This book is packed with specific suggestions for parents and teachers, and gives a detailed explanation of the "Little Room" and how it should be used.
