A Computerized, Adaptive Therapeutic Gaming Approach Training Visual Perceptual Skills in Children With CVI

All children will be asked to use the adaptive version of the therapeutic game for three months, during their free time, at home or at the special school where they stay. They will be asked to play the game minimally three times per week between 20-30 minutes per session. The researchers will install the game on a device of choice for the children. Back-up devices are available from the study team to ensure that children having no suitable device can participate in the study. The parent and/or caretaker will be asked to support the child in starting the program, but not to intervene during the actual game time. The game is designed to ensure that children can play independently. Therefore, children will be able to play at home, at school or during their free time. The program will not replace their regular therapy program, but will be provided additionally. The number of regular therapy hours will however be registered.
