Low Vision Meta-Analysis

Examination of the research evidence on low vision stimulation, development, and devices.

Low Vision Meta-Analysis
In the interest of determining best practice for infants, children, and youth with visual impairments, the American Printing House for the Blind asked the National Center on Severe & Sensory Disabilities (NCSSD) to examine the research evidence on low vision stimulation, development, and devices. NCSSD conducted a meta-analysis of that evidence, similar to the meta-analyses it had conducted previously in literacy practices and in mathematics instruction. This report presents the results of NCSSD’s meta-analysis of the low vision research, covering the literature published between 1964 and 2008.
