Abstract
Olfactory sense is considered as one of the compensatory senses in the special educational practice. The advanced thesis is focused on examination of olfactory sense in people with visual impairment.
The results of the research map the level of olfactory perception in people with visual impairment on the basis of available standardized tests. Persons with visual impairment did not surpass the control group in any of the tests in olfactory perception, they however pointed out a subjective perception in olfactory sense as one of the compensatory means.
Assignment of the level in olfactory perception of people with visual impairment seems to be the important precondition of their aimed education.
