“The child who has had favourable opportunities for learning before nursery school age is able to take his place in a regular nursery school programme with sighted children. There have been significant advantages to both blind and sighted children by having blind children in sighted nursery classes. It must be recognised that no nursery school programme can make up to the child for the lack of opportunities in the early years of life or overcome all the problems created by limited experience and inappropriate handling.”
