Thirty visually impaired children, six through 12½ years of age, weere administered an expressive language test to determine its usefulness in identification of children with language disorders. The Word Test was selected because it does not use visual stimulus and its norms are based on test of sighted elementary age children. Correlation between age and scores and comparisons of test results for individuals with test norms indicate that The Word Test can be used with confidence in assessment of language disorders among visually impaired children.

Describes an investigation of how different figure-ground contrast combinations affect the visual functioning of visually impaired children. The study employed the use of field reversals—printing white and yellow foregrounds on a black background—to decrease the amount of light reflected from printed materials to the eye. Eighteen visually impaired children ranging in age from nine years, four months to 14 years, six months participated in this study. The findings indicated that neither reversals in contrast nor chromaticity differences were effective measures for increasing visual functioning.

Visual Evoked

In the authors’ previous study, the success rate for forced-choice preferential looking (FPL) with preverbal visually impaired children was higher than that with pattern visual evoked potential (VEP). The current study sought to increase the VEP success rate and to improve agreement between the FPL and the VEP acuity estimates using horizontal-bar stimuli for children with nystagmus and steady-state presentation for those without nystagmus.
