Q

name the 4 components of an OT clinical vision assessment.

A
  • observation of child’s behavior during functional activities - head/postural deviations, do they make eye contact? do their eyes wander?
  • history and child interview
  • formal eval.
25
Q

the space or range within which objects are visible to the immobile eyes at a given time

A

visual fields

26
Q

describe a test that assesses a child’s visual fields.

A
  • have the child look forward to an object
  • have a moveable target move from the back of the child’s head to the front of their face
  • ask the parents when they can see the objects without moving their eyes or head
  • test each eye
27
Q

describe the accommodation response test.

A
  • 2 targets are held in front of the child, one target 18 inches from the child’s face and the other target at the child’s CNP
  • ask the child to look quickly from one target to other target
28
Q

describe an assessment that tests pursuits.

A
  • the child is asked to follow a moving target that is 12-16 inches from the child’s face
  • assess in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal planes
  • eyes should be tested separately then together
29
Q

describe an assessment that tests saccades.

A
  • child is asked to look back and forth repeatedly btwn 2 targets (8-10 inches apart). the targets should be approx. 12 inches in front of the child’s face.
  • assess in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal planes
30
Q

what does the saccades assessment test?

A

direct observation for overshooting or undershooting

31
Q

describe an assessment that tests for convergence.

A
  • the child is asked to keep looking at a target that is held 18 inches from the eyes
  • the target is moved slowly toward the eyes
  • once the eyes break off or double vision occurs, slowly move the target away from the child until the eyes converge again.
32
Q

what is normal CNP? what is the break off point?

A

normal CNP = 3-4 inches

break off point = 4-6 inches

33
Q

the ability to attend to visual stimuli (alertness, selective attention, vigilance, and divided attention)

A

visual attention

34
Q

involves integrating visual processing information with past experiences (both long-term and short-term)

A

visual memory

35
Q

ability to detect distinctive features of a visual stimulus and to distinguish whether the stimulus is different from or the same as others. (object perception and spatial perception)

Q

then necessary visual cognitive component that allows children to picture people, ideas, and objects in their mind’s eyes. essential to reading comprehension and in planning, problem-solving, and organizational skills

A

visual imagery/visualization

37
Q

the ability to note key features of a stimulus and relate them to memory

A

recognition

38
Q

the ability to note the similarities among visual stimuli

A

matching

39
Q

the ability mentally to determine a quality or category by which similarities or differences can be noted

A

categorization

40

necessary to interact with and organize the environment (children’s awareness of their body - right/left, up/down, and front/back)

A

A

topographic orientation

50
Q
  • recognition of forms and object as the same in various environments, positions, and sizes.

51
Q

the ability to identify forms or objects from incomplete presentations

A
