In the present study, the cognitive strategies that the blind baby follows during the sensory -motor period were established. From these observed strategies there was made a cricket of observation that allows to determine the degree of cognitive development of the blind child and to define possible guidelines of action. It started from the notion of "action plan" present in this stage and its integration in structures that will allow to achieve a new level of development and the concept of "affordance", which implies recognizing what the environment offers us, what responds to our interest. An observational qualitative work was carried out. The observation protocol was prepared leaving the observed strategies established, and the "modes of action" used by the child indicated the different strategies. In the developed game certain elements such as ribbons, rings, balls with rattle, support with rotating wooden disk, cars, piano, animals with sound and textures was offered to the child. The strategies systematized through the four stages defined are: a.- in the the matic axis Exploration of the object, from the recognition with the mouth to the mental representation, b.- in the Search of the object, from not looking for it until the integration of space and sound to locate the object, c.- in Orientation and Spatial Location, from the spatial functions precursors of the midline to the mental representation of space, d.- on the Intermediaries axis, from not using them, to using them as a resource to perform at ask, and e.- in body Organizer, from discovering the hand, foot and mouth as explorers to recreating experiences. Body organizer was considered to be functioning structures that are guidelines for integration and access to a more complex structure. They are sequential moments in which a growing complexity is observed that goes from the undifferentiated to the organized and structured. Reference is made to an active exploratory sense. This active touch, precursor of the haptic sense in which receptors participate in the skin and in joints and tendons. This exploration allows him to perceive the world and in the case of the blind child, it makes it possible to experience new practices that can compensate for the lack of vision.
