As a blind aspiring counsellor who has my Bachelors in psychology, I
am familiar with these IQ tests and have always been curious, has
there been any attempt to make these tests accessible to blind and
visually impaired children? Or is the answer just "they're not, and
that's the way it is." I don't expect a definitive answer on this as
I'm sure no one here would know, but it's always been one of those
things that I've been curious about.
