Included in the proceedings of a 1973 workshop on the education of deaf blind children are four papers on aspects of diagnosis and remediation. Roger Seelye discusses vision, visual anomalies, and the implications of low vision conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, retrolental fibroplasia, and optic atrophy. The low vision aids workshop is summarized by George Gore who reported the demonstration of assessment and simulation role playing techniques. Mary Clare Boroughs considers issues of testing and provides a list of tests appropriate for multiply-handicapped children. Mary Gray reviews growth and development in terms of biogenetic, psychodynamic, behaviorist, sociological, ecological, and developmental organismic theories. Discussed in the paper by Janis Forbord are the nature of hearing disorders, how hearing is tested, the anatomy and physiology of the hearing mechanism, and amplification for the deaf and hard of hearing. Also provided are a developmental inventory suitable for children from 3 months to 9 years of age, a listing of gross motor skills of infancy and childhood with usual achievement ages, a listing of workshop participants, the workshop agenda, and the questionnaire and tabulated results used in a workshop evaluation.
