Abstract

Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is a brain-based visual disorder. Children with CVI experience heterogeneous impairments both in their basic visual orienting behaviours and in their visual perception. For instance, children show eye movement difficulties, are unable to recognize objects, or cannot find their favourite toy in a cluttered toy box. CVI lowers quality of life and poses a great economic burden, but despite these concerns, no standard treatment for CVI exists. In this PhD, we developed a quantification schema of visual orienting functions and visual perception, enabling the development of an individualized and adaptive game-based rehabilitation programme for CVI.
