in the senses

Thank you all for your efforts.

Short answer: yes, omit.

If they meant what you are guessing, they should have written something like, "visual skills inherent in the other senses." That is how I would have phrased it.

It could be visual skills related to the senses?

Something seems to have gone awry when this text was written, and no editing was done. If you keep it as is, then "in the senses" will need to be edited out. I am trying to reconstruct in my mind what went wrong, and I can only guess. It is possible, for instance, that at some point, this conclusion was supposed to be a generalization from this study about vision to the effects of deprivation of any of the sense, not just vision. If that was the case, then (1) they should have deleted the word "visual," and (2) the conclusion should have been massaged a bit for clarity, e.g., ". . ., you cannot assume that just because a child has suffered SENSORY deprivation, they are going to be compromised of all of their skills in the DEPRIVED senses." Is this a stretch? Possibly.

Ah OK — so they are not totally blind, as I had assumed; in that case, recovering some additional sight must be a boon.
And yes, the more I see of your text, the more I realize that the EN is flawed; for example, here, 'recover' is arguably more suitable than 'retrieve' — though even then, if they are getting something they did not previously have, even that term is doubtful.
I feel sure that the writer did intend something specific by 'in the senses' — but I'm afraid I can't guess at what it was meant to be.

Some aspects of vision are significantly impacted. The children are compromised
at things like face recognition. another compromised in the file. The project was able to retrieve the vision for these children when they are 10 years old, but not completely as you see. They could recognize colors but not faces. The speaker is Indian. So I think "in the sense" has no place here.

Not really in this sense: 'compromised' simply means damaged, not working properly, less than satisfactory, as in "the data leak compromised security" — in this usage, there is no sense of 'reaching a compromise'

I don't see how we can talk about 'retrieving' their vision? If they are congenitally blind, then they have never had it; or do you simply mean 'achieve' a certain level of vision (that they've never had before)?

He said that because the people in the project don't retrieve their 20/20 vision. if that makes different. compromised here is accept something that are lower than is desirable, right?

Tony's suggestion is probably right - their other senses help to compensate. I think this is written by a native speaker who's just not very good at expressing themselves.

Very hard to see what they are really trying to say here! Is this possibly a non-native writer of EN?
I imagine what they might be saying is that even if they are blind, that doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't have some kind of visual impression of something using their other senses — perhaps like being able to feel an object and imagine what it looks like. Personally, this would come as quite a surprise to me... but my ignorance should not influence your interpretation!
