abstract: Young children with retinopathy of prematurity have many intervention needs. This article discusses the possible causes of retinopathy of prematurity and possible educational problems experienced by these children. In addition, possible intervention strategies are suggested in the areas of language development, social interaction, self-help skills, orientation and mobility, and educational technology as they relate to the needs of young children with retinopathy of prematurity.
