title: [Psychomotor development in the blind infant].
abstract: The blind from birth has a slower psychomotor development than the normal child because he must palliate the deficiency of visual information by the development of suppletory senses and integrate these information to the structuration of environment. An early assistance by a multidisciplinary team with an important participation of the family will however permit a harmonious development.
