The aim of this research is to establish the characteristics of voluntary attention in visually impaired children. We assessed the voluntary attention mechanisms by applying an adapted Cancellation test with geometrical forms. The distribution of the obtained results in relation to the degree of visual impairment indicates that 33.8% of cases in the category of blind examinees achieve a maximum score, 25.3% in the low-vision category, and 14.1% in the category of legally blind examinees achieve a maximum score in this test. The distribution of the results obtained regarding the time span indicates that most low-vision and legally blind examinees can solve the test within this time span, whereas the blind examinees require much more than 162 s.
