nearsightedness)
hyperopia - answer✔A vision impairment in which nearby objects are blurry
Low vision - answer✔Visual activity of less than 6/18, but equal to or better than 3/60, or peripheral
vision to less than 20 degrees in the better eye with the best possible correction
Blindness - answer✔Visual activity less than 3/60 or peripheral vision to less than 10 degrees in the
better eye with best possible correction
Astigmatism - answer✔a condition in which the eye does not focus properly because of uneven
curvatures of the cornea
strabismus - answer✔abnormal deviation of the eye
nystagmus - answer✔repetitive rhythmic movements of one or both eyes
Glaucoma - answer✔increased intraocular pressure results in damage to the retina and optic nerve with
loss of vision

Cataract - answer✔clouding of the lens of the eye
diabetic retinopathy - answer✔disease of the retina in diabetics characterized by capillary leakage,
bleeding, and new vessel formation (neovascularization) leading to scarring and loss of vision
Macular Degeneration - answer✔breakdown or thinning of the tissues in the macula, resulting in partial
or complete loss of central vision
retinopathy of prematurity - answer✔Condition in which damage to blood vessels may cause decreased

Deaf - answer✔Hearing disability precludes successful processing of linguistic information through

Hard of hearing - answer✔Has residual hearing sufficient to enable successful processing of linguistic
information through audition with the use of a hearing aid
Congenitally deaf - answer✔deafness that is present at birth, can be
caused by genetic factors, injuries during
fetal development or by injuries occurring
at birth
adventitously deaf - answer✔A type of deafness that occurs at any point during a lifetime and may have
a course either of gradual, progressive development or of sudden onset
post lingual deafness - answer✔deafness occurring after the development of speech and language
Conductive hearing impairment - answer✔A hearing impairment, usually mild, resulting from
malfunctioning along the conductive pathway of the ear (i.e., the outer or middle ear).
Sensorineural hearing impairment - answer✔Hearing loss caused by damage to the inner ear or the
nerve from the ear to the brain.
mixed hearing impairment - answer✔A hearing impairment resulting from a combination of conductive
and sensorineural hearing impairments.
External Otitis (Swimmer's Ear) - answer✔bacterial or fungal infection in external ear leaving the ear
tender, red and swollen.
otitis media - answer✔inflammation of the middle ear
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) - answer✔a disorder that appears in childhood and is marked by
significant deficiencies in communication and social interaction, and by rigidly fixated interests and
repetitive behaviors
What are some statistics/research of autism? - answer✔- Recent research suggests the prevalence of all
ASD is 62.5 per 10,000 population
- 1 to 2 in 1000 autism and 1 in 500 for Asperger's syndrome. ASD is 1 in 160 (6-12) in March 2007
- Over 10 000 primary aged children, 125 000 people in Australia
What are some impairments that characterise people with ASD? - answer✔- Communication
- Social interactions & relationships
