Assessment of Functional Vision
for Educational Purposes and Early Intervention

In the lectures and papers that I collect on this page I try to convey information that is useful in assessment of impaired vision for planning of services and for educational decisions.

	HOW TO DETECT IMPAIRED VISION IN INFANTS AND CHILDREN?
	Training for vision testing Advice on training at home and at day care to prepare a young child for testing Testing vision of a child with Down Syndrome - Videos
	ASSESSMENT AND CLASSIFICATION OF VISUAL IMPAIRMENT IN INFANTS AND CHILDREN Paper prepared for the WHO meeting on Classification of Visual Impairment in September 2003
	Assessment of CVI Lectures at San Francisco State Univ Nov.15.2003
	Introductory lecture: Assessment of Low Vision for Educational Purposes and Early Intervention

The following texts cover several aspects of assessment of vision in children and infants. They have been written for different courses in many countries where the participants needed to have complete handouts because of difficulties with English, the language of teaching. Later the texts have been modified for more general use but some of them still put emphasis on work in developing countries. Since the great majority of children with vision impairment are in developing countries, this feature may be acceptable also in industrialised countries.
