Viewing Strategy Training in Children With (Cerebral) Visual Impairment

Sponsor: Royal Dutch Visio

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Viewing strategies are strategies used to process visual Information. Many children with visual impairment seem to lack systematic viewing strategies. However, it is unknown how viewing strategies differ between children with normal vision and children with (cerebral) visual impairment. In addition, viewing strategy training is often adopted in clinical practice, but till date there is no scientific evidence about effectiveness of this approach. The current project has two goals: (1) to measure viewing strategies used by children with normal vision, children with ocular visual impairment and children with CVI, and (2) to evaluate whether training viewing strategies results in more efficiënt visual Information processing.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Viewing strategy training

Children receive a visual training of viewing strategies (six weeks, 2 times a week, 30 minutes). During the training, children are instructed to use specific viewing strategies (looking in a structured direction which fits the task at hand, zooming in and out / change of visual selective attentional field, visual discrimination). The verbal instructions and exercises are protocol-based. A textbook is used to describe the reactions of the children during training.
