Abstract
Using a mixed design this study explored physical activity in children with visual impairments from a family perspective. Quantitative findings revealed varied amounts of physical activity; younger children were more active than older participants. Further, parents were involved in moderate to vigorous physical activity 0% to 21% of the time when their child with a visual impairment was active at this level. Sibling physical activity at moderate to vigorous levels occurred 11% to 53% of the time when the child with a visual impairment was active. Themes from qualitative interviews of caregivers and children that explained physical activity included transportation, family member involvement, safety, and time.
