A body of research indicates the importance of interventions for promoting the development and progress of children with visual impairments. However, the research available on suitable interventions for this population is relatively sparse. The purpose of this review is to identify, collate and appraise the available research evidence on implementation barriers and facilitators of interventions for children with visual impairments, their parents/guardians or educators. A systematic scoping search of peer-reviewed literature (including grey literature)

Interventions can be designed to support the interactions of children with visual impairments with their learning environments. However, there is a need to develop systematic and theory-based interventions for supporting children with visual impairments and additional disabilities in their learning environments. This exploratory qualitative study aims to develop a logic model for parents/guardians teachers, and children with visual impairments who attend preschool or primary school by using the Medical Research Council framework for complex interventions. The data were collected in two stages using qualitative data collection methods and in total 27 participants took part. Analysis of the collected data revealed that complex factors can impact on children's interactions with their learning environments. Subsequently, a logic model was developed based on the findings which indicates the importance of a holistic approach through partnership to address the needs of this population.

The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to determine the effect of perception of environmental risk factors on primary school students. The participants of this study were 409 students of both low and high socio-economic level from 2 primary schools in Gaziantep. Confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis were used for scale development study. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that the scale has a structure composed of six subscales and 55 items. Subscales of the scale are; perceptions of in school experience, perceptions of oneself, perceptions of family attitudes, perceptions of family interactions, perceptions of problems within the family, perceptions of the nearest living area. Cronbach Alpha for the scale was found to be .85.
