title: Development in severely visually handicapped children and visual therapy remediation.
abstract: The motor and cognitive development of a visually handicapped child is delayed due to various constraints placed on learning by the handicap. The child requires a functional visual assessment, and assessment of mental & motor development. Based on these findings a total remediation programme needs to be worked out. This is individualised, integrated & includes stimulation of residual vision, optional use of residual vision and special measures to promote general development.
