Social interaction of blind children and sighted children in early childhood education

Blind children' interactions have been the subject of increasing interest in recent decades. Therefore, the main objectives of this study, proposed to inclusive kindergarten, is to characterize the social interaction of blind children who either received or not a specialized and constant stimulation. We intend to characterize the social interaction of blind children with those who can see Two blind children with approximately five years old and their classmates participated in the research. We organized situations in which children could play. Their performances were videotaped. The classification system used allowed the comparative analysis of the interactions of the participants and was adopted the SPSS-WIN (13.0) for data analysis. We found similarities and differences when compared characteristics of the interactions between blind children with those of the seers. When there is constant stimulation the blind children have a behavior similar to those of children who see.
