Abstract
Education of preschool visually impaired children has quite a long history because it was one of the first special services to be provided at the preschool level. In spite of this, there is still not a battery of tests that is recognized as optimal that can be used to assess the children. Thus, assessment information must come from many individuals, with some material of greater use than others.
