Assessing functional vision Children with complex needs This booklet explores the different factors that affect what a child sees, such as the size, colour and position of an object, backgrounds, lighting condition and how much time a child is given to make sense of what is presented. The assessment activities have proved useful for assessing children with a wide variety of abilities, needs and interest and are designed to enable you to establish a baseline of visual functioning.
