Visually impaired children experience limitation in learning and identifying the world. There has yet to be an intelligence measuring instrument tailor made to accommodate their limitations. Therefore, this study aims explore strengths and weaknesses of visually impaired children compared to non-visually impaired children in standard intelligence test as a pilot study for constructing intelligence test that is tailor made for visually impaired children. This research is a quantitative approach using WISC-R as the research instrumenrs. The data was analyzed using Mann-Whitney U Test. This study found a significant difficulty experienced by visually impaired children in performance subtest. Further, no significant difference in verbal IQ was found between visually impaired children and non-visually impaired children. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for developing intelligence measuring tools for visually impaired children in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
