SI in visually challenged:

The goals of therapy in visually challenged individual using SI approach would be:
 Develop other sensory channels for meaningful reception and interpretation of stimuli
 Minimize the deficits caused by visual loss in other sensory channels especially auditory
 Ameliorate self stimulatory behaviors especially those providing visual stimulation by use of appropriate vestibulo-proprioceptive strategies
 Help the child understand personal space and his relation with external space
 Teach the child spatial relations in absence of visual information
 Organize the child to function in the dynamic environment
