Answer to Question 2
Cognitive development: Children may have difficulty developing associations between words and actual objects if they are unable to touch or physically feel the object. Blindness may also affect cognitive development by limiting one type of experiential encounter with the world (for example, colors).
Physical: Motoric development may be impeded due to lack of feedback from the environment for establishing spatial relations and perception (for example, depth, visual figure ground).
Social: Reading interpersonal messages from body language (stance, proximity, facial expression) is difficult without visual feedback.
