The aim of this project was to create an objectively verifiable system for the evaluation of the needs of pre-school children in Greece with visual impairment (complete blindness or poor eyesight), whether they have other disabilities or not. There is a lack of quantifiable data in this field, so an innovative programme such as that proposed by ''Early Intervention'' urgently needs a reliable means of evaluation to provide teachers and parents with a way of ascertaining children’s needs, and of indicating how to prioritise and deal with them.
The team managed the project in the following stages:
The system will be provided to the education and psychology departments at universities and technical colleges all over Greece, so that the needs of children with visual impairment and other disabilities will be fully taken into account during their schooling.
