title: [Development of a vision-related symptom and performance checklist for children].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Visual dysfunctions can cause problems in academic and athletic activities in children with developmental disorders. This research aims to develop a vision-related symptom and performance checklist for children (VSPCL).
  
  
  METHODS
  Parents of 115 children with visual dysfunction and 859 typically developed children were recruited to conduct VSPCL.
  
  
  RESULTS
  As a result of factor and discrimination analyses, 39 items were selected and divided into four subscales (alpha =.715 approximately alpha =.924). ROC analysis was used to investigate discriminability, revealing high sensitivities (81.3% - 93.5%) and specificities (79.1% - 91.8%) for all subscales.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  VSPCL was found to be useful to discriminate symptoms related to visual dysfunctions in children with developmental disorders.
