Enhancing Child Posture-Vision Relationship: Maximize Visual Function through Postural Alignment and Support Systems

Discover the powerful interrelationship between postural and visual systems in children for optimal visual function. Learn assessment sequences to prepare the visual system for function and elicit apparent light perception. Utilize movement skills and components like postural tone, head/neck, and trunk components to enhance visual function. Explore ways to heighten light perception to increase visual awareness and independence. Watch a beneficial video for further insight.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Minimally Responsive Child

  2. Posture-Vision Relationship Apparent Light Perception

  3. Posture-Vision Relationship Rationale • Interrelationship between postural system and visual system is so powerful that deficit in one significantly influences the other. • Vision may be present but cannot be expressed until postural and motor system is prepared

  4. We Must Prepare the Visual System for Function!!

  5. Assessment Sequence • Organize postural alignment and symmetry • Facilitate quiet alert state • Influence movement and postural components that support visual function

  6. We Won’t Impact Vision Until We Get Postural System in PlaceEvery Time We Make a Postural Adjustment We Must Allow For a Visual Adjustment

  7. Intervention with the Child is Your Assessment

  8. Minimally Responsive Child Posture & Movement Components of Visual Function • Postural tone • Head/neck Components • Shoulder Girdle Components • Upper Extremity Components • Trunk Components • Movement Skills

  9. Apparent Light Perception Rationale • If light perception is apparent, it may represent minimal level of visual functioning • Any amount of light may be made more efficient for functional application • Student may be made aware of visual capacity and attend to motion, color, and distant lighting sources to better orient to and discriminate his surroundings and, subsequently, increase his independence

  10. Minimally Responsive ChildApparent Light Perception Eliciting Context /Nature & Quality of Visual Response • Facilitated Contact • Imposed Light • Motion Against Light • Form Against Light • Detail Against Light
