Baker, C. P.; And Others
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v89 n5 p440-47 Sep-Oct 1995
This study to determine the validity of the Blind Learning Aptitude Test (BLAT), involving 30 students, found significant correlations between scores on the BLAT and braille oral reading speed, comprehension, age, grade, years of blindness, intelligence, and achievement. The correlation was greater between the BLAT and comprehension than between the BLAT and reading speed. (Author/DB)
