Abstract
Cortical Visual Impairment presents distinctive challenges in children's visual development, stemming from impairments in visual processing due to brain-related damage or dysfunction. This abstract provides a succinct overview of the strategies involved in identifying and managing cortical visual impairment in children. Identifying cortical visual impairment necessitates a thorough assessment extending beyond conventional ophthalmic evaluations. An accurate diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating insights from neurologists, developmental specialists, and educators. The identification process encompasses observing unconventional visual behaviors, evaluating functional vision, and utilizing neuroimaging tools to pinpoint underlying brain abnormalities. Subsequent to identification, effective management strategies become paramount in fostering the visual development and overall well-being of children with cortical visual impairment. Educational interventions are central, emphasizing the creation of visually accommodating environments and the utilization of adaptive technologies. Tailored individualized education plans are imperative, addressing each child's unique needs and emphasizing improvements in visual attention, promotion of visual-motor integration, and the cultivation of communication skills. Moreover, successful management relies on collaboration among healthcare professionals, educators, and parents. Regular follow-up assessments and adjustments to intervention strategies are imperative, acknowledging the dynamic nature of cortical visual impairment and its evolving impact on visual function. The early identification and comprehensive management of cortical visual impairment in children are critical for optimizing their visual potential and overall developmental outcomes. A cooperative, interdisciplinary approach ensures a broad understanding of the child's needs, facilitating implementation of targeted interventions and supporting their journey toward both visual and developmental success.
