Abstract

Competency in basic motor skills like running is essential for all students regardless of a visual ability. Children encounter running in their daily lives and many sporting activities. Research has shown that for children who are visually impaired, running specifically is a motor skill that is difficult to develop without instruction and practice. If children with visual impairments have a solid foundation of running as a motor skill and a safe way to run, they will have a better chance of becoming competent in running equal to their sighted peers.
