Abstract
<jats:p> A pilot study suggested that a new high-resolution acoustic sensory aid may be useful as a training aid for developing spatial perception in blind children. Tasks in spatial location, spatial orientation, and spatial transfer were executed by blind school children using the spatial sensor in a classroom program. Five children completed all eight spatial orientation tasks in a mean time of 86 minutes. The final task involved correctly counting up to eight rods, all at a distance of one meter spaced angularly eight degrees. A more extensive program is being planned. </jats:p>
