My friend Mary pointed me to this interesting article about a young boy born without his sight, who has apparently learned to use clicks to help him navigate successfully. It's interesting to consider how that might work... Certainly brains are more flexible than we often give them credit for, especially in the very young.
The link is here.
That is truly amazing stuff.
