Abstract
In his work on children's concepts of space, Piaget has proposed that development is characterized by an advancement from an initially topological conception of space to a space characterized by Euclidean properties. The former is characterized by relationships between points which are unaffected by continuous deformation and transformation, while the latter is identified by relationships between various fixed coordinates and shapes. The present paper discusses Piaget's work and examines its usefulness in providing a developmental explanation of some aspects of spatial organization associated with children with perceptual handicaps.
