Abstract
An examination of the research models used extensively with the blind child and various kinds of methodological weakness that decrease the value of research. Specific problems areas discussed include subject size and description, statistical methods, random selection problems, control groups. Finally, a research model for the future is proposed. The model is hierarchical, that is, research on a characteristic that includes attention to etiology and real-life behavior along with evaluation. Finally, some remaining problems are discussed.Keywords
