Abstract
The aim of the study was testing two groups of children with Ishihara pseudoisochromatic plates that can give difference in the form of hard interpretation, in other words, the possibility of slower plate reading speed for children with special needs as opposed to healthy children. Subjects: The study included 56 subjects divided into two groups of 28 subjects. Control group had 14 boys and 14 girls, while experimental group had 16 boys and 12 girls. This cross-sectional study was
conducted at Spinut Elementary School and Slava Raškaj Education and Development Center in Split. The main outcome measurement was the time needed to read/interpret Ishihara pseudoisochromatic plates in both groups tested. Results: Out of all Ishihara plates, most errors were made on plates 7 and 13. There was no statistically signifi cant difference in the number of errors on plate 7 between healthy children and children with special needs (
