Abstract

Introduction: The Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE) and the Preferences for Activities of Children (PAC) are useful measures to assess how children with visual impairments are meeting the nine areas of the expanded core curriculum (ECC). Each item of the CAPE and PAC includes an activity with an accompanied image to illustrate it. However, the measures do not provide standardized image descriptions for each item, which limits its validity and reliability for this population. Thus, the purpose of this Delphi study was to validate and standardize image descriptions for the CAPE and PAC so they can be used more effectively with children with visual impairments. Methods: The expert panel consisted of 11 professionals with extensive knowledge and experience with individuals with visual impairments and six dyads of parents and their child with a visual impairment. Each panel member assessed the accuracy of wording for 57 image descriptions on a 4-point Likert scale and provided feedback on items rated below 3. Results: Consensus on all image descriptions was reached after two rounds. Discussion: The results of this study help to increase the validity and reliability of the CAPE and PAC for children with visual impairments. Implications for Practitioners: The CAPE and PAC can be used more effectively by practitioners and researchers to assess the areas of the ECC for children with visual impairments.

图像描述在儿童参与、享受和活动偏好评估中的有效性：德尔菲研究

儿童参与和享受评估(CAPE)和儿童活动偏好(PAC)是评估视力障碍儿童如何满足扩展核心课程(ECC)九个领域的有用措施。CAPE和PAC的每个项目都包括一个活动，并附有图片来说明它。然而，这些措施没有为每个项目提供标准化的图像描述，这限制了其对该人群的有效性和可靠性。因此，本德尔菲研究的目的是验证和标准化CAPE和PAC的图像描述，以便它们可以更有效地用于视觉障碍儿童。方法:专家小组由11名专业人员组成，他们对视力障碍个体和6对视力障碍父母及其子女具有丰富的知识和经验。每个小组成员在4分李克特量表上评估57个图像描述的措辞准确性，并对评分低于3分的项目提供反馈。结果:经过两轮后，对所有图像描述达成一致。讨论:本研究结果有助于提高CAPE和PAC对视障儿童的效度和信度。对从业者的启示:从业者和研究人员可以更有效地使用CAPE和PAC来评估视力障碍儿童的ECC区域。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness is the essential professional resource for information about visual impairment (that is, blindness or low vision). The international peer-reviewed journal of record in the field, it delivers current research and best practice information, commentary from authoritative experts on critical topics, News From the Field, and a calendar of important events. Practitioners and researchers, policymakers and administrators, counselors and advocates rely on JVIB for its delivery of cutting-edge research and the most up-to-date practices in the field of visual impairment and blindness. Available in print and online 24/7, JVIB offers immediate access to information from the leading researchers, teachers of students with visual impairments (often referred to as TVIs), orientation and mobility (O&M) practitioners, vision rehabilitation therapists (often referred to as VRTs), early interventionists, and low vision therapists (often referred to as LVTs) in the field.
