Our intention in writing this book is to provide three distinct but closely related groups with insight into the factors required to help a blind child attain his/her maximum level of cognitive abilities. The first group consists of parents who face the day to day reality of helping their blind child deal with the challenges imposed by the lack of sight. The second group consists of beginning and future professionals who will find themselves deeply involved with providing social, psychological, and educational support of these parents. The third group includes friends, family, and others who are not and will not be on the front lines of working with blind children, but who are interested in understanding the issues for their own reasons. There are many articles and books available that discuss the various aspects of the development of both sighted and blind children from almost every possible perspective related to the factors that impact the learning and developmental processes of children. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these have been written by professionals to professionals, using the jargon of the author's chosen field of study. As a result, people who are not part of the "in groups" often find these publications hard to understand, boring, or both. In this book, we do not aim to provide any new insights to established professionals or other individuals who are knowledgeable in this area. Rather, our purpose is to translate the knowledge provided by these professionals into ideas and concepts that can be readily understood and applied by parents, teachers, and other caregivers of blind children. Throughout the book, we will be dealing with highly specialized concepts and theories of education, psychology, and human development. We have done our best to translate the professional and academic jargon into what most people would call "simple English. Throughout the text, we have provided our definitions of

About the Author:
William F. Cavitt Biographical Data William F. Cavitt was born July 13, 1940, in Corning, Arkansas, a small town in the northeastern part of the state. His family was tenant farmers who worked very hard. Bill did not like farm work so at the age of 15 he ran off and joined the U.S. Navy. In the navy he progressed through the enlisted ranks very rapidly to Master Chief Petty Officer (E-9) working primarily on top secret projects. While serving on a small patrol boat in Vietnam, he became interested in education. Having dropped out of school in the 10th grade he was required to complete his high school through the General Education and Development (GED) program. Bill received his high school diploma from Bremington College Adult High School, Bremington, Washington, even though he has never been there. While serving in Hawaii he entered Chaminade College of Honolulu where he received a Bachelors of General Studies in Sociology and Psychology. Upon being transferred to Pensacola, Florida he entered the University of West Florida where he received his Masters Degree in Psychology. Bill retired from the navy at the age of 35 and shortly thereafter he started his doctoral program. He was awarded his doctors degree in Education, concentrating on Educational Psychology (primarily in Instructional Systems Design and Development using computer technology). As an Education Specialist and Education Psychologist with the Federal Government, Bill was responsible for the design and development of various highly technological instructional programs. He served as the Deputy Director of Navy Technical Training at the Chief of Naval Education and Training, Pensacola, Florida where he was in charge of about 70 program managers of instructional systems. After retiring from the Department of Defense, Bill taught Psychology at Darton College, a small two year college in Albany, Ga. He truly loved his teaching experience at Darton, but th
