- Brief Summary
Vision is our dominant sense. Lingering vision conditions impede rehabilitation therapies. Children with visual impairments are at a greater risk for developing delays. Motor development relies greatly on vision to encourage children to move. Curiosity and motivation to explore the visual stimulus in a child, assists with the development of head control, crawling, walking and learning to manipulate objects. It is thus important to identify interventions which could possibly decrease the burden of blindness while improving visual abilities and giving more chances and opportunities for global development of the children. It is also important to come up with more cost effective and simple to use interventions for the same. A dearth of studies focusing on these issues, gives rise to the need for study in the said field.
