Cerebral Visual Impairment in Children: Visuoperceptive and Visuocognitive Disorders 2015th Edition (2015) by Josef Zihl PDF

Description

Cerebral visual disorders have far-reaching consequences for child development. These have profound adverse effects on children’s education and success in school and also in later life, but, unfortunately, cerebral visual disorders often remain undiagnosed and untreated in the pediatric population. This book provides a state-of-the-art account of what is known about the development and disorders of visual perception in children. It covers the development and disorders of visual perception in children, their assessment, early intervention and management in an interdisciplinary context, both from a scientific as well as clinical perspective. Case studies illustrate the recommended assessment and rehabilitation procedures; synopses, boxes and check-lists complement the presentation of our recommendations for clinical practice.

⭐Cerebral Visual Impairment is little understood by many and affected children often goes undiagnosed or even misdiagnosed.It impacts upon many areas of an affected person’s life and can have devastating consequences if unrecognised.This comprehensive work not only covers in depth what is known about the development and disorders of visual perception in children, but assessment, intervention and management of the condition.Much can be done to support affected children and their families. The case studies provide a particularly helpful means of illustrating this.This book should be a compulsory part of curricular reading for all involved in the assessment of children, from medics, educational psychologists to all therapeutic disciplines.

⭐This is a great book by Zihl and Dutton written in simple, lucid language and providing insights into the complex neurological phenomena that these patients have. If one is working in a pediatric neuro-ophthalmology set-up, this book is a ‘must have”!

⭐Great book. Very helpful in explaining the implications of the damage due to premature birth. More people need to understand these since so many little ones are being born earlier and earlier. My very bright grandson has been affected by injury to his brain at birth and it has been taxing discovering how to help him. Because his problems are not immediately obvious people often underestimate his abilities. If I had known a lot of this information earlier he would be in a better place now he is 21.
