Abstract

To identify whether a person has a color blind deficiency a test commonly used for this detection is Ishihara test, where the dots of the various colors are combined to form an object, letters or numbers. These tests are normally found in hospitals or institutions where patients undergo the test. Assimilation of skills needed to interpret the objects, letters or numbers are required to specify whether
the person has a color vision problem.1 The development of children's language can be seen in terms of the ability to receive, understand and produce. Children as early as one year often possess limited skills in interpreting objects but are difficult to interpret letters and numbers. Among the objects that can be interpreted by children are commonly surrounded by their environment and that repeat for the child to remember. It is known as cognitive (mental activity) of Jean Piaget's theory.2
(The process of increasing capability of thought, knowledge
and intellectual. The ability to form and generate a lot of common sense to solve
problems, understand and analyze.) Ishihara Test specifically builds for adults
who are not illiterate. Been aware on that issues Dr. Terrace L. Wagoner test the
process by making it easier to generate the image of the objects around that is
easily been recognize by children. For example like ball, apple, star and etc., in the
form of dots of color. Dr. Terrace test also has been approved by a number of
ophthalmologists. These test however, only suitable for children aged 3 years and
above. 3
In Malaysia colorblind issue among kids are not commonly been
discussed. Rarely do we see Malaysian society, especially parents concerned about
this issue. Mostly color blindness is only detected when they are starting out to
express their opinions and their feelings. Parents and educators that are not been
educating by this inability, will make their children face this disabilities to deal
with it themselves.
