Examining the Effect of Eye Gaze Technology on Children With Cortical Visual Impairment & Its Impact on Occupational Performance

Abstract

Abstract Date Presented 04/22/2023 Cortical visual impairment (CVI) is the leading cause of visual impairment, affecting as many as 72 per 100,000 children (Cohen-Maitre & Haerich, 2005). CVI causes difficulty processing visual information (Abd El-Maksoud et al., 2016); however, there is limited research on interventions for CVI. This study aims to see whether eye gaze technology improves visual skills and occupational performance of children with CVI. Primary Author and Speaker: Tammy J.
