Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Optometry
  • Developmental Pediatrics

Background:

  • Children with special needs often present unique challenges in visual function assessment.
  • Standardized visual tests may not be suitable for all children, necessitating specialized tools.
  • Accurate assessment of visual function is crucial for early intervention and educational planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Visual Function Battery for Children with Special Needs (VFB-CSN).
  • To establish the reliability, acceptability, and validity of the VFB-CSN for assessing visual function in children with special needs.

Main Methods:

  • A scale development and validation study involving construct and item generation.
  • Evaluations included interrater reliability, acceptability, and content, ecological, and convergent validities.
  • Recruited children with special needs for reliability (n=32) and validity (n=95) investigations.

Main Results:

  • The VFB-CSN demonstrated high interrater reliability for the overall battery (ICC=0.90).
  • Good reliability was found for oculomotor, contrast sensitivity, and color/form vision subscales (ICC=0.80-0.86).
  • Strong correlations were observed between VFB-CSN and established measures for contrast sensitivity, acuity, and color/form vision.

Conclusions:

  • The VFB-CSN is a reliable and valid multifaceted battery for assessing visual function in children with special needs.
  • The battery exhibits acceptable psychometric properties, particularly for acuity and contrast sensitivity.
  • VFB-CSN provides a valuable functional assessment for children with disabilities who struggle with standardized tests.
