Visually Impaired Children

The Developmental Activities Screening Inventory (DASI) is introduced as a viable means for determining the developmental level of children functioning between the ages of 6 and 60 months. The nonverbal test includes adaptations for visually impaired children. Thus, it is useful in screening normally functioning and severely handicapped children for the purpose of planning further assessment and interim educational goals. The inclusion of procedures for teaching the skills included facilitates immediate follow-through in the classroom.

Describes experimental work that has been carried out in creating services for integrated visually handicapped children at a Center of assessment, counselling and training, located at a residential school. The principles and methods applied are outlined and a report given of 70 children visiting the Center during one time period. The clinical procedure and follow-up is described. The complexity of the problems and the necessity of an individual approach in habilitation is stressed as well as the importance of team work engaging both professional and nonprofessional persons.

Infants And Young Children

Intervention services for preschool visually impaired children are known to be critical, but identification and referral must occur before services can be provided. With the passage of P.L. 99-457, services are now mandatory for handicapped children from birth. This study examined a number of demographic factors related to the population of handicapped preschoolers who are visually impaired. Among the data collected were the number of children, their visual diagnoses, the source of referral, the types of services provided, the certification of teachers, and how P.L. 99-457 is perceived to be related to visually impaired infants and young children.

The purpose of this study was to examine the educational placement of visually impaired children and related factors that might be helpful in the development of placement procedures for day school programs. The widespread acceptance of multiply handicapped children in day school programs appears to be affecting educational placement and related factors.

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.
