To the directors of the Missouri Council of the Blind:

I have been attempting to find an agency to assist me with a situation I am facing, I have outlined it below:

I do AbilityOne Intake Evaluations.  These evaluation consist of many subtests.  The Street Skills Survival Tests (SSSQ) are a series of pictures that we have the individuals points at.

The Perceptual Memory Task (PMT) tests are conducted by the individual after looking at either a picture of blocks, colors or patterns then repeating those measuring recognition and sequencing.

The Prevocational Assessment (PAS) tests are: filing cards alphabetically, completing a visual maze, assembling small parts, pipe assembly, sorting 0-rings, block design (repeating a visual pattern) and color sorting.

I need to complete an assessment on a visually impaired person and I need to do so within the next week or so.  Since I do not know how to adapt these tests to accommodate for this, I am hoping you can advise me or suggest an optional assessment program/application.  Do you know of assessments that I can use to measure some of the same things (obviously not all of these things will be applicable):

The SSSQ measures:

Knowledge, understanding and strengths in the following areas:

Basic Concepts (colors, up, down, through between)

Functional Signs

Tools

Domestic Management

Health, Safety & First Aid

Public Services

Time

Monetary

Measurements

The PMT measures:

Spatial Concept Memory

Immediate Recall

Sequential Memory

Auditory Information Processing

Visual Information Processing

Immediate Auditory Recall

Sequential Auditory Memory

The PAS measures:

Aptitude in:

Any assistance/guidance/advice you can offer would be much appreciated.  Thank you in advance for your time.
