“…Meaningful feedback is important, not only for social interaction, but for accurate selfevaluation by individuals who are visually impaired. Because of the lack of meaningful feedback, visually impaired persons may find it difficult to comprehend a conversation (D'Allura, 2002;McGaha & Farran, 2001) and, at times, may stop conversing. Hence, the inadequate conversational skills of others may indirectly influence the conversation skills and, what is more important, the social interaction of individuals who are visually impaired.…”

“…Arguably, social interaction to promote learning is essential for all students. However, students with a visual impairment may need more opportunities for educationally meaningful interaction than students with sight [26][27][28][29].
