A tactile version of the Speed of Information Processing Test for the Blind - a revision and improvement

Heather Mason

This article describes the second phase of the development of the Tactile Speed of Information Processing project, involving designing and standardising a new set of pre-braille items for the youngest age group (five to eight years of age), in an attempt to extend the usefulness of the test to children of these ages. A good measure of success is reported, with the new items being successful and usable for children aged from seven years, but still very difficult for five and six year olds. This outcome, and our experience of the project, are discussed in terms of some of the difficulties in testing young children with a visual impairment.
