Abstract

The purpose of the study was to develop an instrument for identifying the elementary-level nonacademic competencies for employment that are needed by students with visual impairments. In the first phase, 32 competencies that are required for the successful employment of adults with visual impairments were validated and rank ordered. In the second phase, an instrument with 464 elementary-level subcompetencies was developed and administered to 53 students with visual impairments. Significant differences were found on 13 competencies based on the age and the level of visual acuity of the learners. Overall, students with visual impairments mastered 148 subcompetencies by age 18.
