Capabilities and limitations of 251 severely visually impaired persons (senior high school age or older) were assessed on a range of visual environmental adaptation problems to learn how they are organized and influenced. Factor analyses indicated that problems can be grouped on the basis of eight functional domains, among which an independent…

THIS DOCUMENT COMPRISES 2 HEARING ABILITY TESTS FOR 3- TO 8-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN. THEIR ADMINISTRATION REQUIRES A SPEECH AUDIOMETER. TEST NORMS WERE ESTABLISHED FOR RECORDED MATERIALS IN A SOUND FIELD. BOTH TESTS USE COLORED PICTURE CARDS, AND IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE CHILD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY ALL ITEMS SHOWN. THE THRESHOLD BY IDENTIFICATION OF…

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE WAS TO PRESENT DATA FOR THE TRANSFER OF LEARNING FROM ONE SENSORY MODALITY TO ANOTHER, SPECIFICALLY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VISION AND AUDITION. THE PARAMETER WAS A RANGE OF NATURAL LANGUAGES INCLUDING SPANISH, JAPANESE, RUSSIAN, TURKISH, AND PERSIAN. THE SECONDARY PURPOSE WAS TO SUGGEST SOME THEORETICAL CONSTRUCTS WHICH MAY…

The assessment of vision as it relates to and interacts with motor development is reviewed. The focus is on eye readiness skills normally occuring in infants' first few months of life and preceding eye-hand coordination.
