Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants with severe visual impairments rely heavily on their other senses, especially hearing, to explore and interact with their environment. "Reaching on sound" is a milestone where infants use sound cues to reach for objects and indicates a readiness to begin exploring and moving independently. Therefore, achieving this milestone is a significant motivator for these infants to start moving.
