Journal Title: Human Research in Rehabilitation - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the research is to examine the differences in the spatial orientation of children with and without visual impairment with regard to age, gender, and school achievement. The sample of respondents consisted of a total of 62 respondents, of whom: 31 respondents with visual impairment and 31 respondents without visual impairment, aged 7-11, both sexes obtained from the pupil population from the first to the eighth grade of regular primary schools in the Tuzla Canton area. The obtained results were processed by descriptive analysis, t-test and variance analysis. By analyzing the results on variables for the estimation of spatial orientation, we can conclude that the two investigated groups statistically significantly differ in spatial orientation with regard to: age, while the differences were not shown on the variables: gender, and school achievement. The results of the research can be used to create new methods for implementing and improving the rehabilitation process in this population of children. Rehabilitation with children with visual impairment can positively influence the reduction of the differences in the spatial orientation of this population in relation to children of intact vision, and on the educational process, social and professional integration of this population.
