OUR GOAL to understand each child’s visual functioning
Children with CVI OUR GOAL: to understand • the quality of the image • the use of information in higher visual functions • the role of vision in development and education
The effect of visual impairment varies in different tasks. Visual disability is task dependent.
Visual Impairment affects four main areas: • Communication • Orientation & movement • ADL, daily living skills • Sustained near vision tasks
Visual Impairment Basic questions: How does vision affect this function? How is vision going to affect development of this function? Does the child have compensatory techniques? How do I teach them?

CVI Often a part of larger brain damage >> thus Cerebral visual impairment or Brain damage related visual impairment
Brain damage related VI Caused by: - lesions in visual pathways - cortical lesions, visual and other - subcortical lesions - leads touneven profileof visual functions, some good, some poor important in assessment of children with intellectual disabilities
CVI - Behaviours - VARIATION in visual behaviour - effect of basic disorder - effect of medication, wakefulness - misunderstanding the functions easy to us, difficult to the child
CVI - Behaviours - VARIATION in visual behaviour - speech as compensatory function
CVI - Behaviours - VARIATION in visual behaviour - speech as compensatory function - plays with adults, not with children
CVI - Behaviours - VARIATION in visual behaviour - speech as compensatory function - plays with adults, not with children - clings to parents in crowded places
CVI - Behaviours - VARIATION in visual behaviour - speech as compensatory function - plays with adults, not with children - clings to parents in crowded places - uses colours for recognition
CVI - Behaviours - VARIATION in visual behaviour - speech as compensatory function - plays with adults, not with children - clings to parents in crowded places - uses colours for recognition - may learn letters early, only short words
CVI - Behaviours - VARIATION in visual behaviour - speech as compensatory function - plays with adults, not with children - clings to parents in crowded places - uses colours for recognition - may learn letters early, only short words - starts drawing late or never
CVI – Behaviours 2 - stops at thresholds and shadows - depth perception - perception of surface qualities
CVI – Behaviours 2 - stops at thresholds and shadows - does not look at, ”avoids eye-contact”
CVI – Behaviours 2 - stops at thresholds and shadows - does not look at, ”avoids eye-contact” - peripheral vision better, central scotoma
CVI – Behaviours 2 - stops at thresholds and shadows - does not look at, ”avoids eye-contact” - peripheral vision better, central scotoma - gets lost in familiar places
CVI – Behaviours 2 - stops at thresholds and shadows - does not look at, ”avoids eye-contact” - peripheral vision better, central scotoma - gets lost in familiar places - gets angry if objects are moved
CVI – Behaviours 2 - stops at thresholds and shadows - does not look at, ”avoids eye-contact” - peripheral vision better, central scotoma - gets lost in familiar places - gets angry if objects are moved - uses siblings and adults for help
CVI A list of typical behaviours does NOT help us to understand a child.
When a child has an unusual behaviour, describing it is not enough.
When a child has an unusual behaviour, describing it is not enough. Try to find out WHY the child has that behaviour. Consider other impairments. Consider the situation.
Angle & cross Pen and spasticity
Cognitive visual functions Discrimination of orientation of lines Discrimination of size/length of lines Detection & discrimination of movement Perception of texture, surface qualities Object / background, Depth Recognition of faces, expressions Recognition of geometric forms Perception of pictures Spatial awareness, eye-hand coordination
CVI Diagnose and therapy: - team, transdisciplinary - tests are used by everyone - observation - structured play situations - repeated assessment
Transdisciplinary Diagnose In the assessment of children with brain damage related vision loss: - ophtalmologist: anatomy, refraction - teacher, therapist: observations, testing - neurologist: dg, neurologic impairements - neuropsychologist: cognitive vision video documentation
Assessment of functional vision - basic information from the eye hospital structure of the pathways, refraction, glasses (under- or overcorrection?) VA, VF, CS, CV, VAd, motor functions
Assessment of functional vision - basic information from the eye hospital structure of the pathways, refraction, glasses (under- or overcorrection?) VA, VF, CS, CV, VAd, motor functions - testing of all visual functions in play and teaching situations, effect of other impairments and disorders
Assessment of functional vision - basic information from the eye hospital structure of the pathways, refraction, glasses (under- or overcorrection?) VA, VF, CS, CV, motor functions - testing of all visual functions in play and teaching situations, other impairments - effect of posture and facilitation in children with severe motor problems
Four children • Prematurely born girl with problems in recognition of faces + other impairments • Boy with severe CP, poor head control and poor oculomotor functions, good VA, CS,VF • Girl with extreme hypotonia, insufficient accommodation, slow hand movements • Boy with deletion syndrome, central scotoma, hearing problems, delayed development
Recognition of faces Re-cognition: - the facial features are seen - a template is formed in memory - the face is seen again - template is found and matched
