Vision and Development

About this Category

Exploring the critical role that vision plays in a child's overall development. This category examines topics such as the impact of strabismus on movement, the relation between visual functions and bimanual function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy, and the integration of vision and movement in neurodevelopment. Presentations offer insights into how visual impairments can affect various aspects of a child's development and provide strategies for addressing these challenges in therapy.
