Beliefs About Physical Activity Among Children Who Are Visually Impaired and Their Parents


Abstract: This survey of 25 visually impaired children aged 10-12 and their parents investigated the value the parents placed on their children's physical activity and the barriers to physical activity that the children faced. The results revealed that as vision loss increased, parents' expectations for their children's ability to be physically active decreased, as did the children's views that physical activity is important or useful.
