Geruschat, D. R.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v86 n1 p25-27 Jan 1992

This study found that, of 18 children with severe visual and multiple impairments assessed using the Acuity Card Procedure (originally developed for assessing the visual acuity of infants), 42 percent responded. A similar group received a simple instructional intervention prior to testing and that group's response rate was 85 percent. (Author/DB)
