VISUAL SKILLS INVENTORIES<\/strong><\/p>\n

It can be very useful for parents to complete a questionnaire\/inventory about their child\u2019s vision prior to attending the eye appointment. There are many types of these available. One well known example is the visual skills inventory developed by Professor Gordon Dutton and his team at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow.<\/p>\n

STRATEGIES<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Visual Skills inventories link to Home and School Strategies which contain useful practical strategies when an aspect of vision has been found problematic. Sections of these can be used in conjunction with reports to give to parents and other people involved with the child\u2019s care. These are available below:<\/p>\n

\u201cDiagnostic assessment of CVI in children is an interdisciplinary task, which needs close cooperation between the disciplines of (neuro-)ophthalmology, neuropaediatrics, developmental neuropsychology, orthoptics as well as early intervention and special education specialists. Observations reported by parents, brothers and sisters and other reference persons about the child\u2019s visually guided behaviour such as grasping for toys, visual exploration, fixation, responses to toys and other objects and play behaviour can provide significant indications concerning spared and affected visual capacities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cParents and caregivers need to be closely involved in all habilitational efforts, so that they can be shown how to help their child, and encouraged to integrate and appropriately extend any successful outcomes of intervention into their child\u2019s activities of everyday living.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis book provides a state-of-the-art account of what is known about the development and disorders of visual perception in children. It covers the development and disorders of visual perception in children, their assessment, early intervention and management in an interdisciplinary context, both from a scientific as well as clinical perspective.\u201d Chapter 6 includes: Interview method, assimilating the information, communicating the diagnosis and management plan, visual function and functional vision. Chapter 7 includes: Direct interventions and adaptive strategies for the child for home, school and community.<\/p>\n
