Course overview

Children with cerebral visual impairment (CVI) are frequently diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Despite the importance of early diagnosis, there is no standardised assessment tool to diagnose CVI. Nor is there one referral criteria guideline. The challenge in early diagnosis relates to the wide range of visual dysfunctions present in CVI. These include central and peripheral vision dysfunction, dysfunctions in movement perception, gaze control, visual guidance of movement, visual attention, attentional orientation in space, visual analysis and recognition, visual memory and spatial cognition. These impairments can all affect a child's learning and social interactions. This course defines CVI, presents the relationship between CVI and cerebral palsy, and discusses the common characteristics of CVI.
