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

Immediate Visual Recall

Sequential Auditory Memory

Sequential Visual Memory



The PAS measures:

Aptitude in:

Clerical/Verbal

Motor Coordination

Finger Dexterity

Manual Dexterity

Form Perception

Spatial Perception

Color Discrimination



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