Abstract
This study presents the case of an 11-year-old child diagnosed with hearing impairment and visual impairment. The objective of the study is to establish the profile of cognitive and neuropsychological functioning, but also to establish the necessary intervention directions. ABAS™-II - Adaptive Behavior Assessment System™ - II, a behavioral assessment system focused on broad-band adaptability measurement, was used as a research method. At the international level, it is considered the standard in the complex assessment for awarding the degree of disability. ABAS™-II items indicate the inability or ability of any person between the ages of 0 and 89 to perform age-typical daily living behaviors. The study indicates the following results: according to the WISC IV (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children), the level of cognitive development of the patient according to the indices is: verbal comprehension index - composite score 75, located at the 5th percentile; perceptive reasoning index - composite score 91, located at the 27th percentile; working memory index - composite score 91, located at the 27th percentile. Comparison of discrepancies at the level of subtest scores/procedural scores indicates significantly lower performance on the subtest Remembering numbers in direct order (attentional field/phonological loop) - standard score 6, compared with Memory of numbers in reverse order (the ability to temporarily retain in memory and manipulate information to obtain a result) - standard score 14; processing speed index - composite score 97, located at the 42nd percentile; QI =84, which indicates an average-lower level of cognitive functioning.
