This article focuses on the importance of validity in the process of psychological evaluation, especially when the evaluation is intended for people with visual impairment, and about the development of the Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) as an alternative for the assessment of this population. First, a review of the main controversies about the concept of validity and the development of Computerized Adaptive Test is presented. Then, topics related to validity in CAT and scope, technological limitations, and the challenges of its use as an alternative to evaluate the visual impairment population are discussed. Finally, possibilities for future developments and research on high quality alternative assessment for populations with physical disabilities are set forth
